When I did a Unix unit at Curtin the text book the suggexted was
An Introduction to Berkley Unix by Paul Wang.

I Hadn't opened it until your post.  it seesm okay.

If you're going to be at Curtin some time you can stop by my work and I'll
lend it to you.  Or of course you could try to get it out of the library.

It doen't touch on the Internet.  IN my experence at curtin if there is an
"and" in the unit title that means 2 text books.

Yours Tony.
