The following documents were edited by Keith Loepere of the Open Software Foundation, and have been distributed at various OSF/RI Mach workshops. Thus you may already have copies of them. They all document Mach 3.0, but in the case of the Kernel Principles manual and the Server Writer's Guide much of the information is applicable to Mach 2.5. If you are interested in obtaining hard copies of the documentation please contact Susan Crocker via e-mail or by phone at 617/621-7259.

• Keith Loepere. Mach 3 Kernel Principles. [postscript] Open Software Foundation document.

  Documents the user visible architecture of the Mach 3.0 kernel. It is currently the best detailed introductio\ n to the basic Mach concepts: tasks, threads, ports, messages, memory objects, virtual address spaces, processors, hosts and devices. (52 pages)

• Keith Loepere. Mach 3 Kernel Interface. [postscript] Open Software Foundation document.

  Describes each of the Mach 3.0 kernel primitives in isolation. The format is that of a man page per kernel call. All introductory material is in "Mach 3 Kernel Principles". (355 pages).

• Keith Loepere. Server Writer's Guide. [postscript] Open Software Foundation document.

  Documents the major user level tools for writers of Mach servers: MIG and CThreads. Contains descriptive material and examples. Similar to the Mach 2.5 documents, "MIG - The MACH Interface Generator", Draves, et.al. and "C Threads", Cooper, Draves, but updated to reflect the changes for Mach 3.0 (44 pages)

• Keith Loepere. Server Writer's Interface. [postscript] Open Software Foundation document.

  Describes each of the CThreads primitives in isolation. Introductory material is all in the "Server Writer's Guide". (52 pages)
