As Coile and Goodhard are pointing out, there are two
works by John Lions in question: one is his commentary
on the Sixth Edition Unix code. John, assisted by
Peter Salus and Berny Goodhart, would like to republish
this as a part of history.  Arranging this is the subject
of (difficult) negotiations that involved Novell and
now involve SCO.  We would like to assist this effort
but the decisions aren't ours.

The second: Lions revisited Bell Labs several years ago
and started a similar effort for an early version of Plan 9.
Unfortunately, it was a bit too early; the kernel
and almost everything else changed enough that
it's not relevant to any distributed version of
Plan 9.  Retrieving and publishing it wouldn't
do justice to any involved.
