Generally speaking, integrating Unix machines with Windows NT computers means jumping through some flaming hoops. Users of the two environments need to be able to share files, database access, applications, and electronic mail messages. Windows NT & UNIX Integration Guide does a superb job of explaining how to accomplish all these things.

Beginning with a general overview of how the two operating systems can work together, the authors promptly explain how to access Windows NT-resident files from a Unix machine, and vice versa. Unique in its market, Windows NT & UNIX Integration Guide details how to perform system backups in a mixed environment. Printer sharing gets lots of attention, as does routing and simple network management protocol (SNMP). The book's main shortcoming lies in the disproportionate amount of space the authors give to irrelevant Windows NT documentation. However, a reasonably comprehensive frequently asked questions section proves useful, and may well help you solve problems.

Samba, the most popular Windows NT emulator, gets prominent coverage, as does Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) and System V Unix variants (especially evident in the sections about sharing printers). A companion CD-ROM holds Samba, SOSSNT, some other software, and some documentation. --David Wall
