That is what I have been working on.  I knew it would be useful.  It will
take a little more time to complete however, so if you want to take a
section and start going through it making diagrams (OO, Structured,
Flowcharts, whatever makes you happy) that would be appreciated (I have been
working primarily in xnu and since this software is written in C not C++ I
have been using Structured Analysis and Design methodology and flowcharts.
If you are more comfortable with OO, use that approach.  If it works out
well, I will rework my stuff into that approach, if not I can help rework
your stuff into SAD and Flowcharts).  I have always been of the opinion that
graphical representation of the code in any form is better than commented
text or documents.  I am however still looking for docs (developers notes,
etc) for the kernel.

I guess i will first look at the appletalk dir as I am familiar with 
socket\tcp code

R there any docs. which give an over view of the entire kernel src ..some 
big picture .
