M6 came first, created by Andy Hall as a portability tool for Altran.
I always assumed the name echoed Ken Knowlton's L6 (BelL Labs low
level list language, with a superscript 6). I seem to recall that M6
was endowed with a very labored acronym.

Hello Folks,

A while back I made avaiable a tarball of two directories I had
of Bell Labs CSTRs (Computing Science Technical Reports). There
was some overlap between them, and at the time I didn't have the
free time to go through and weed through the duplicates.

I have now done that. There is a new tar file available at

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

Warren, please add this to the TUHS archives.

Enjoy,

Arnold

Warren and Brantley and anyone else, feel free to retrieve.

I have two sets - both are in the tarball so there are undoubtedly
duplications.  If someone else can curate them into single canonical
set that'd be helpful, I just don't have the time right now.

Enjoy,

Arnold
