Subject: [TUHS] Reconstructed and newl= y set UNIX Manual

The last couple of days I worked on re-setting the= V3-V6 manuals.
I reconstructed V5 from the scan as best I could, unfort= unately some
pages were missing.
You can find everything I used to do= this here,
please read the BUGS section:
https://github.com/aap/unix= man

The results can be found here, as HTML and PDF:
http://squoze= .net/UNIX/v3man/
http://squoze.net/UNIX/v4man/
http://squoze.net/UNIX= /v5man/
http://squoze.net/UNIX/v6man/

Reconstructing V1 and V2 n?= roff source and converting the tty 37 output
to ps is something I want t= o do too, but for now this was exhausting
enough.

Now for the qu= estions that I arose while I was doing this:
Are there scans of the V4 a= nd V6 manual to check my pdfs against?
Where does the V5 manual come fro= m? As explained in the README,
some pages are missing and some pages see= m to be earlier than V4.
Is there another V5 manual that one could check= against?
Why is lc (the LIL compiler) not in the TOC but has a page?
And most importantly: is the old troff really lost?
I would love to= set the manual on the original systems
at some point (and write a CAT -= > ps converter, which should be fun).
Doing all this work made me wis= h we still had earlier versions
of UNIX and its tools around.

Hav= e fun with this!
