Google Scholar's ‘Vancouver’ style citation:

    Jacobson V. Tuning UNIX Lex or it's NOT true what they say
    about Lex.  InUSENIX Conference Proceedings (Washington,
    DC, Winter 1987) 1987 (pp. 163-164).

Lack of space after ‘In’ is Google, not me.

I didn't find the paper itself, just citations of it.

Cheers, Ralph.
