- Excellent text for 386-specific information.
-
- I also suggest that people check out the suggested references in the
- INSTALL.NOTES file. They're the ones we use all the time. Also, two
- important references are:
-
- "POSIX 1003.1: IEEE Standard Portable Operating System Interface for
- Computer Environments", IEEE 1988. ISBN 1-55937-003-3.
-
- "The Intel 386 Architecture and System V BCS" for an understanding
- of defined interfaces.

- Lynne.
