-
- Since UnixWare is essentially UNIX SVR4.2 + NetWare protocol support,
- the standard manuals for SVR4.2 will apply to UnixWare equally well
- as they do to generic USL SVR4.2 (except, of course, the NetWare stuff).
-
- The USL SVR4.2 books from Prentice Hall should be hitting the
- bookshelves shortly, if not already.
