Subject: [9fans] (offtopic) Unix manual 10th Edition
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 1998 09:00:51 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19980617080051.AkHHk3YcQPkEE53-auzKVTD32mBJtdfk7jRMO_vARxY@z> (raw)
This may not be the right place for my question, but our news access has
been very flakey lately and I guess there must be a number of 9fans
readers (esp. those at AT&T/Bell Labs/Lucent) who may be able to help.
I am looking for information about the last of the old Unix editions, ie.
8th, 9th and 10th Edition. There are a few papers around in various
journals, but I want something more along the lines of the actual manuals.
The 7th Edition Manual is available on the net, though I have yet to find
versions of troff/tbl/eqn that don't barf on some part of it.
I guess previous versions are covered by SCO's "Ancient Unix Source Code"
license, but what about Unix after 7th Edition? Who owns the copyright?
Hardly any information on these editions seems available to the normal
human being.
According to BYTE Magazine the 10th Edition Manual was published
commercially in 1990, but I have seen other references saying it was never
published.
Any (ex) Bell Labs guys now the real story? Is there any way I can get
hold of the 10th Edition Manual (paper or electrons)?
Cheers,
Andrew.
