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.
https://archive.org/details/a_research_unix_reader
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!
