From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: doug@cs.dartmouth.edu (Doug McIlroy) Date: Mon, 23 Nov 2015 20:55:36 -0500 Subject: [TUHS] "Edition 0" manual Message-ID: <201511240155.tAO1tap2016965@coolidge.cs.Dartmouth.EDU> Among the papers of the late Bob Morris I have found a Unix manual that I don't remember at all--a draft by Dennis Ritchie, in the style of (but not designated as) a technical report with numbered sections and subsections. It does not resemble the familiar layout of the numbered editions. Besides the usual overview of kernel and shell, it describes system calls and some commands, in a layout unrelated to the familiar man-page style. Detailed reference/tutorial manuals for as, roff, db and ed are included as appendices. The famous and well-justified claim that "UNIX contains a numer of features very seldom offered even by larger systems" appears on page 1. A little poking around tuhs.org didn't reveal a copy of this document. Does anybody know of one somewhere else? Doug
