List-Id: The Unix Heritage Society mailing list Archived-At: List-Archive: List-Help: List-Owner: List-Post: List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: From: segaloco via TUHS Reply-To: segaloco Good day everyone, I'm in search of a bit of esoteric information regarding= published UNIX works. Does anyone know of any of the tools, formats, prac= tices, etc. used in producing the actual graphical covers of various publis= hed UNIX manuals? Some that come to mind: The alphabet blocks cover of the HRW V7 Manuals The simple 70's Bell-style cover of the UNIX System III manual The nice 3B-20 picture on the UNIX 4.1 manual The grid patterns design on the UNIX System V documentation The blue "big V" SVR4 manuals (given the time disparity, these could have t= otally different underpinnings) Where I'm particularly curious is how these covers were actually set, defin= ed, the image data to print on them stored, formatted, etc. In other words= , :troff::covers:manpages where ??? may also represent more than just = the specific tools/formats. Anyone have the scoop on the actual raw materi= als and technologies used for preparing the covers and/or if any of those o= riginal assets, in their raw form, would potentially still exist somewhere?= To be honest, I am particularly interested in the original, highest fidel= ity possible image of the 3B-20 from the corresponding manual (https://comm= ons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Unix_Manuals#/media/File:UNIX4.1UsersManual= Cover.png) but am happy with any info illuminates what went into the actual= physical production. Thanks all! - Matt G. P.S. If it provides any leads, the closest thing I've found in actual docum= ent sources to material related to these aspects of physical publication ar= e the files M.folio and M.tabs here: https://www.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?= file=3DSysIII/usr/src/man/tools
