Subject: [TUHS] Bolsky's C Programmer's Handbook
Date: Mon, 27 Dec 2021 11:47:58 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4bcc40d8-1ce3-97ed-744c-2e95838032c9@dotat.at> (raw)
I have a copy of a spiral-bound booklet with yellow covers called "The C
Programmer's Reference" by Morris I. Bolsky of the Systems Training
Center, AT&T Bell Laboratories, (C) 1985. A curious little snapshot of
1980s pre-ANSI C.
I posted a picture of the front cover (with table of contents) at

I think I rescued it from the office clear-out in 2013 when Cambridge
University Computing Service moved out of the old city-centre offices. I
probably picked it up from a stack of old books that were to be chucked;
wherever I found it, I can't remember who it belonged to. And now I no
longer work for the University, it has come home with me.
Tony.
