They can be found in ASCII and PostScript form under /usr/share/doc/psd/20.ipctut and /usr/share/doc/psd/21.ipc. Once you know how to write and debug C programs, you might perhaps find these papers useful as a guide to socket network programming. They are written by the same people who designed the socket IPC interface. (IPC == interprocess communication) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
