Many years ago (around 1991) one of my mentors who's passed away gave me a
many generations old-photocopy of a document with examples of Unix coding
(shared memory, pipes, etc).

It seemed to be part of a training guide from Bell labs. I no longer have a
copy of the document and remember far too little to do a Google search.

I had hopes the document posted here might be the same but it doesn't seem
to be.

Anyone here have a vague clue what document I may have been looking at?

I certainly don't need that document for any technical reason, but at least
would like to know who was responsible for it since it was such a pivotal
document in my career* that I'd like to send thanks where thanks is due.

(*that and the Unix 3B1 that a buddy rescued from the university dumpster
for me and some long forgotten soul who gave me a full disk and manual set
for the same machine).

blessings!
-joe
