Sorry to bother again, but I just noticed that the PostScript versions
I uploaded were the portrait mode ones, not landscape. I have put the
right ones in now, so if you downloaded them before this message, you'll need
to get them again. Both PDFs however were and are correct.

I resurrected the Lions' source code for the commentary I made some
15 years back -- line numbers at all. It had been lost for some time
and it took a bit, but I finally found it on some obsolete media.
In making it I didn't have v6 source so it was reverted from v7.

I tried a few months ago and it is no longer available from them. They
suggested I try used book web pages. There is a copy available on
half.com as of this writing for around $100.

Latex source to the book was posted to alt.folklore.computers circa
1994. I'm guessing that the poster (a "Leo") typed it in by hand
given the comments that came with the readme.
Tim.

Yes, that's the one I got. From memory, the subject was "Leo's notes"
and it was uuencoded or some such. Strangely, not many people got it.
Do you still have the text? I haven't found mine yet, but a number of
people have expressed interest.

You can download PostScript and PDF versions of the Lions book here:
http://morris.xsdeny.net/data/docs/unix/lionc.ps
http://morris.xsdeny.net/data/docs/unix/lionc.pdf
You can also view Google's rendition here:
http://216.239.51.104/search?q=cache:www.upl.cs.wisc.edu/~epaulson/lionc
.ps
In my opinion, the LaTeX version would still be interesting. The
previously mentioned files themselves were probably produced from that
source.

Google agrees that the subject was "Leo's notes" and it was posted in
7 uuencoded parts in mid-June 1994. Unfortunately, Google doesn't
appear to have kept a copy of the posting (just the whinges about the
size).
I don't remember seeing it (I don't think I looked at AFC very often then)
and don't seem to have a copy. I'd also be interested if anyone still
has a copy.

I didn't recall that it was that many. Unfortunately, I didn't retain
the original articles. Google appears to be wrong about the date,
though: my copy is dated May 19, 1994.

Yes, I've found it now and put it up in multiple formats at
http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/Lions/. Enjoy!
