I'd suggest contacting Professor Harry Lewis at Harvard
(lewis at harvard.edu). We used Macro-11 for Unix in his "Intro to
Data Structures" course in 1980.
Since Professor Lewis is now a dean, this may take some
persistence on your part, but I remember Professor Lewis as a
decent sort (though busy, even in 1980) and I'm sure he'd be willing
to help once he knows who you are.
BTW, I did verify that this was Macro-11 for Unix. After some
rummaging I was able to find (wonder of wonders!) my old "HRSTS
Macro; Macro-11 Second Edition; 1/5/76" manual complete with
Unix man pages for 'macro', 'linkr' and 'libr.'
Best of luck.

PS: I've just read Tim Shoppa's post; the man pages contained in
his email are identical to those in my manual (i.e., looks like you
want m11).
