All, I've just received from Poul-Henning Kamp a document entitled
"UNIX Program Description", dated January 1976 and written by the
UNIX Support Group. It contains detailed descriptions of the functions
inside a Unix kernel. Given the date and the USG origin, I'm guessing
that the system described is PWB/1.0. Can anybody confirm this at all?
The URL is http://minnie.tuhs.org/Archive/PDP-11/Distributions/usdl/unix_program_description_jan_1976.pdf
but I'll move it if it turns out not to be about PWB.
I love how new documents and artifacts keep appearing! Thanks phk.
Cheers,
Warren

Unfortunately, no. phk can't remember exactly where he got the document,
but he is trying to jog his memory :)
Cheers,
