Well, that brings me to a question as to from where Linux is derived ?
SVR4 or BSD or a combination of both.

That is what I am not looking for anyway.

I guess I understand that being in IBM myself :-)

Well, I am resorting to LIP as the last resort. I have already done
what you have suggested. :-)

Maybe I think Bach is the first place which I should start from, then
go on to Uresh Vahalia.

Well, Bharat. I would not mind paying for the book if it is in print and
I am not asking it so that I can keep it forever. I am not looking out
to deprive anyone of the "precious" book and I ain't forcing anyone.
Bye
Thanks
