From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: tuhs@cuzuco.com (Brian Walden) Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2015 16:55:32 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [TUHS] (no subject) Message-ID: <201507192055.t6JKtWhZ015374@cuzuco.com> I authored those files so I could render the Seventh Edition manuals as PDF in 1998 (long after I had departed the Labs). As pic did not exist yet (Kernighan had not written it) there were never any original pic files for these documents. I do not know what 1127 was doing to publish diagrams at the time. The Bell logo I did directly in postscript so \(bs would render. The logo was originally it's own custom "character" just like an A, B or C, on the phototypesetter's optical font wheel. You can see what they look liked from the v7 PDF manuals -- In Volume 2A (http://plan9.bell-labs.com/7thEdMan/v7vol2a.pdf) bs.ps is on variety of pages such as 129, 130, 216 ms.pic is on page 127 make.ps is on page 282 In Volume 2B (http://plan9.bell-labs.com/7thEdMan/v7vol2b.pdf) implfig1.pic is on page 162 implfig2.pic is on page 168 these are the PDF page numbers (where the title is page 1) > From: Mark Longridge > > I came across some Unix files in v7add such as bs.ps for the Bell logo > and ms.pic (described as Figure 1 for msmacros). > > http://www.maxhost.org/other/ms.pic > > I was wondering if there was some viewer or conversion program so we > could look at pic files from this era? > > Mark > >
