DEC OSF/1 NOTES
Original author was Anthony Baxter, <anthony@aaii.oz.au>. Derived originally from m_ultrix, by David S. Comay <dsc@seismo.css.gov>, although by now there is hardly any of the code from m_ultrix left. Helped a lot by having the source for syd(1), by Claus Kalle, and from several people at DEC who helped with providing information on some of the less-documented bits of the kernel interface. Patches from Rainer Orth <ro@TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> Theory of operation: Use Mach calls to build up a structure that contains all the sorts of stuff normally found in a struct proc in a BSD system. Then everything else uses this structure. This has major performance wins, and also should work for future versions of the O/S.
