[TUHS] Update CSTR tarball

[TUHS] Update CSTR tarball

[arnold]

Hello All.

Nelson Beebe has added PDF files for all the .ps files that didn't
have them, and I did a little bit more cleaning up of the CSTRs
I made available late last week.  The new file is at

	https://www.skeeve.com/combined-cstr-2.tar.gz

Warren will eventually add them to the archive, at which point I will
probably take down my copies.

Nelson and I request of the CSTR authors who are on the TUHS list if
they are willing to make source code for their CSTRs available? That
would certainly help in the preservation effort.

Thanks,

Arnold

Here's the status of source for CSTRs by me.  All extant source is troff -ms.
Which ones might be wanted?

14  Synthetic speech
    Source does not exist; scanned pages are available.

139 Unix reader
    Source exists for front matter including combined table of contents,
    but not for pages copied from Unix manuals.

155 Trilogy on ellipses
    Source exists.
    Figures for the first paper are in Ideal, together with troff intermediate.

163 IX
    Source exists.

Hi Doug,

I'd think we'd want everything we can get.... :-)

Warren, should it go straight to you?

Thanks!

Arnold

41 An Algorithm for Differential File Comparison
source for the reconstructed version of this may also exist?

All, I've just untarred the documents and they are now at:

https://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Documentation/TechReports/Bell_Labs/CSTRs/

Thanks to all who helped find and curate these documents.

Cheers, Warren
