Today, I realized that I don’t understand how the write syscall works. While I have a good grasp on the OS-Application interface, I have a very fuzzy understanding of OS-hardware interface. What would be the best way to learn that? My first idea is to open the Linux kernel and read that, but Linux does so many things that it might be hard to identify the fraction of the code I am really interested in. Are there better kernels for learning purposes?

(Abstract) When implemented in Snobol4, Eliza is dramatically shorter and simpler than the original Fortran program. The brevity of the rewritten Eliza greatly enhances its value in a course on artificial intelligence. The complete program, and a portion of a script are included as Appendices. Comments
