i am looking for lions' commentary on plan9.
We'd all love one, but didn't he write a commentary on UNIX V6?
I'm reminded of the Jimi Hendrix lyrics as used in the film "Easy Rider"
"Now, if 6 turned up to be 9,
I don't mind, I don't mind."

He wrote one on Plan 9 as well, however it is not distributed.

judging from previous postings on this list, lions did write a commentary on
a very old edition of p9... unfortunately this is extremely outdated..
if you are looking for a commentary on plan9, someone is spain has a very
good one which covers the latest release 3. just check past postings for it.
i am sure people in bell-labs will be able to give you more insight on
lions' old commentaries (both V6 and p9) though :)
