This paper describes the architecture of the DACNOS network operating system, with special emphasis on its incarnation on the UNIX platform. It presents the DACNOS solutions to the problems of communication, access protection and data representation in a network of cooperating heterogeneous systems. DACNOS implementations currently exist for VM/CMS, VAX/VMS, PC-DOS, OS/2 and UNIX System V derivatives. 1. Introduction
