- Hello,
- About one week ago I send this message on comp.unix.bsd,
- comp.unix.internals, comp.unix.wizards :
-
- > Greetings,
- >
- > I'm searching for an ftp site where I can find the Usenix conferences.
- > ( If there is one ).
-
- I reply on the net because a lot of people are interested by the result.
-
- Unfortunately It appears that there is no such site. I receive only one
- answer advising me to look in comp.org.usenix archives, which I did.
- I look on "cs.dal.ca" and found a message ( Re: Papers from past
- USENIX conferences ) that answer to my quest. Among other things you
- can read :
- >
- >Usenix had hoped to include electronic versions of papers, or even abstracts,
- > as well as the bibliographic information. And, for a while they were
- > actively soliciting for donations. However, very very few
- > authors have been willing to make their papers available
- > electronically, even though they could still retain the copyright.
- > One can only conjecture as to the reasons.

- My request came after I found interesting papers on
- "aupair.cs.athabascau.ca" about sun and other ones on "cse.ogi.edu"
- about Chorus ( some of them appears in the usenix conferences ).
- The problem is that, to my knowledge, there is not a text book that summarize the latest advance in this field, in think especially about
- the new VM in SUNOS/SVR4 and threads ( BACH and LEFFLER are already
- obsolete ( in some sense ) and the 386BSD of Jolitz is based on MACH ).
-
- I think this a problem that this "knowledge" is not more widely
- available to the "average" interested programmer if he want to take
- advantage of these beautiful new features. ( Knowledge is power,
- remember )
