Thanx. I have *enough* literature on Raja Yoga from the masters of meditation
in India. I have nothing to learn from western authors in this area.

Sounds like you're talking about "Algorithms for Computer Graphics and Image
Processing," by Theo Pavlidis.  (That title may not be exactly right, but it's
close.)  I believe this book is still in print, although it was published in
1982.  I've seen copies recently at Quantum Books in Cambridge, MA.

Get in touch with University Microfilms in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Most
theses produced in the US are submitted to them for archiving on
microfilm. they should be able to make a positive microfilm or a paper

Assuming that you mean IBM PCs: the best book I have seen is the
MS-DOS programmers' reference manual published by Microsoft Press.
I read it in 1988 in learning to write an installable character 
stream device driver. It gives some simple tips for debugging.
There is a simple example to guide the user.
Last year I saw a book titled "Writing DOS Device Drivers in C"
(Unfortunately, I do not remember the author). May be someone 
can supply more details.

As far UNIX device drivers are concerned, I like the book
titled "Writing a UNIX Device Driver". I am still reading
this.

>Also, what would be the best way

Writing them. Character stream device drivers are simpler 
implement and debug than the block drivers. You might start with
DOS (well, if it hangs, just reset the m/c :-)) where its 
simpler and then move to UNIX.

A few months ago I downloaded a package on how to use the undocumented
80286 instruction LOADALL.  The package was actually a section of the 
book 'The Hyper-Space Navigators Guide'.  It supposedly describes methods
of entering and leaving protected mode on the 286 and 386.

The problem is, that the package about 2 years old, and any attempts I
tried to make to the E-mail addresses specified were refused.  All of
the information on the book from the package follows:

Title:  The Hyper-Space Navigators Guide
Author:  Terry E. Hodgins

Cost:  $49.00 includes examples disk (students get 20% off)
Notes:  Comes with examples disk, in 360K or 1.2M 5.25", or 720K 3.5"

I have not tried out the snail address, for I hate waiting weeks for a 
reply, if I get a reply.  
From the writing style and information in the LOADALL package, the book
seems to be worth it, has anyone ever heard anything about this book
or author?  I would be greatful for any assistance in getting this
book.

Cheers,

They'll certainly take customer orders directly in North America,

is unencouraging, so even in North America I suspect it's not easy
