BitSavers seems to be the canonical location for old computer documentation= .
I agree +1 BitSavers, but Warren you should keep = your stuff.=C2=A0 =C2=A0One-stop shopping for UNIX archives is a good thing= .

=C2=A0

The CHWiki (gunkies.org) isn't really the best place to put original docum= entation,
but that's where I'd recommend putting meta-data. As for searching = meta-data, are
you speaking of something more powerful than Google?

PS: Speaking of old Unix documentation, I recently acquired a paper copy of= the
PDP-11 V6 Unix manual. Is that something I should scan? I don't know if= you
already have it (I know where to find sources in the archives, but I don= 9;t
know where documentation scans live.)
What I personally = have is impure, and I have not seen a complete one elsewhere, so if you hav= e a real manual, that is a good thing IMHO.
