You could buy the Nebett book. Or instead download the sample source code
(including the fork example) from
http://www.newriders.com/content/images/1578701996/downloads/1578701996.zip
and http://www.newriders.com/content/images/1578701996/downloads/ntdll.zip.
You can find most of the API that's documented in Nebbet's book at
http://undocumented.ntinternals.net/.
