9fans,

a few months ago, at a friends request, i acquired a copy of a research
unix reader and scanned it, and i put it on archive.org.

the pdf and some other formats are available, but the conversion is not
very good, so the pdf is the best bet.

perhaps it will give curious minds a little insight into from whence
plan 9 was begat.

yes. the maintainer of cat-v.org was the 'friend' who requested the
document. :-)

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!
