[9fans] off topic: manual sets

[Benjamin Huntsman]

Sorry for the off-topic post, but I'm striking out on google, and I'm virtually certain that someone here will know...

Does anyone happen to have the ISBN's for the 7th Edition manual set?
Volume I is 0-03-061742-1, but I can't seem to find the others...

Thanks in advance!

appologies,

I managed to junk half my email, I meant to add:

v1		0-03-061742-1
v2		0-03-061743-X

I have had success buying some older Unix box
from both abebooks.com and alibris.com.

Slightly off topic (of this thread), but I'm looking for troff sources
of 8th, 9th, 10th and Plan 9 1st Editions to complete the man page
collections at http://man.cat-v.org

If anyone knows where I can find copies of any of those, I would be
most grateful.

Thanks to Fish's contribution I have made the Unix 8th Edition manuals
available at:

http://man.cat-v.org/unix_8th/

Tons of fascinating stuff there, including the jerq docs in section 9
( http://man.cat-v.org/unix_8th/9/ ) and what I think is the oldest
documentation of the /proc file system
(http://man.cat-v.org/unix_8th/4/proc ).

Fish also contributed some pages from section 1 of the Unix Writer's
Workbench: http://man.cat-v.org/unix_WWB/1/

Thanks again to Fish for this wonderful contributions, and of course
to the original authors of all this amazing material.

Peace

uriel

P.S.: I'm still working out a couple of kinks in the web interface
that make =(1) and Mail(1) inaccessible, but almost everything else
should work fine, if you notice any problems please let me know.

Is a tarball of the 8th ed manual troff files available?

The Unix Historical Society (see www.tuhs.org) would like to have this
too, I don't doubt.

Thanks!

I temporary put it online [1]. Feel free to mirror it.

I obtained this stuff from an generous anonymous
donor few years ago.

I thought it would be better to share it.

[erik quanstrom]

oddly, neither file(1) nor the linux file can identify the awk
that is included in this tarball.

It is a Eight Edition Unix VAX binary.
