I have been in meetings back to back and have had no time at all yet I have my copy of "Solaris Internals" and "Solaris Systems Programming" and "The Magic Garden Explained" ( old but good SVR4 book ) all out on my desk again. I am peeking at this and reading and thinking .. this is great. Really really wonderful to see this level of content pouring out. > I too am interested in coming up to speed to be a higher quality > member of this project.

The need for ODW's is desperate. Dennis
