All,
The Unix Sixth edition programmer's manual and other documents for use
with Unix time-sharing system are available online, in html and
postscript form from Wolfgang Helbig's site:
http://wwwlehre.dhbw-stuttgart.de/~helbig/os/v6/doc/index.html
There are papers some missing from the "Documents for use with the Unix
Time-Sharing System":
RATFOR - A Preprocessor for Rational Fortran
NROFF User's Manual
A Manual for Tmg Compiler-writing Language
On the Security of UNIX
The M6 Macro Processor
A System for Typesetting Mathematics
DC - An Interactive Desk Calculator
BC - An Arbitrary Precision Desk-Calculator Language
The Portable C Library (on UNIX)
UNIX Summary
Some of these are more interesting to me than others, but I tend towards
shiny objects, so there is no telling when they will be of critical
interest in the future. I have done quite a bit of searching for the
NROFF document and the portable C library document and while I have
found related works, I haven't come across the originals for sixth
edition. Do any of y'all know where any or all of these documents are
archived in their original/reproduced form?
Regards,
Will
