Subject: [TUHS] Dennis' Draft of the Unix Timesharing System: not so draft?
Date: Sun, 18 Dec 2016 08:34:16 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161217223416.GA12706@minnie.tuhs.org> (raw)
All, I'm writing a paper based on my June 2016 talk on PDP-7 Unix. As part
of that I was looking at the BCPL -> B -> NB -> C history. And as part of
that, I was reading Ken's B manual, written in 1972:
https://www.bell-labs.com/usr/dmr/www/kbman.pdf
Then I noticed at the end Ken refers to:
Ritchie, D.M. The UNIX Time Sharing System. MM 71-1273-4.
which makes me think that the draft version Doug McIlroy found
(now at http://www.tuhs.org/Archive/PDP-11/Distributions/research/McIlroy_v0/UnixEditionZero-Threshold_OCR.pdf)
must have made it into a full memorandum.
Given that we have the memorandum number, does anybody know if it
would be possible to find it in the archives from what was Bell Labs?
Cheers, Warren
