[TUHS] Re: early Unix papers, from Jim Joyce

[Rich Morin <rdm@cfcl.com>]

I'd like to begin by thanking folks for their suggestions.  I'd also like to express my awe and appreciation for Nelson Beebe's bibliographic work.  That said, I am not now (and will likely never be) in a position to do anything similar for the documents in question, let alone scan and OCR them, etc.  If someone wants to take on such a project, please let me know.

However, as a small step along the way, I opened up the box and produced a rough list of the contents (see below).  When I noticed version or date information, I noted it, but many of the documents are missing that sort of thing.  So, YMMV.

It appears that most of the items are copies of Unix Version 7 documents, printed at UC Berkeley (UCB).  Some of the rest are a mix of photocopied articles from magazines (e.g., BSTJ, BYTE, Comm. ACM, Software--Practice and Experience).  I assume that most of this content is readily available, but some may not be.  In any case, the bibliographic info might be useful. 

Finally, there are assorted documents that were edited or produced at UCB.  Some of these (especially the ones marked DRAFT) may be of historical interest.  Anyway, please let me know if any of this sounds like it might be worth passing along...

P.S.  Careful Reader may notice a strong emphasis on text processing in this collection.  Jim's research interests included the use of computers to analyze Middle English poetry.  For example, the rhyme schemes allowed him to clarify the pronunciation of certain words.


# Notes

The documents are currently stored in manilla folders in a cardboard box.
Folders are separated by bars (---) in the List.
Folders are listed below in the order found in the box.

Dates and "UNX x.y.z" notations are transcribed, when available.
These notations appear to relate to UCB's "UNIX Documentation Guide".
