I think the wikipedia article meant Bourne's "The Unix System" was the first general introduction to UNIX. In the autumn of 1984 it was a recommended text book for an introduction to computing course aimed at first year science undergraduates at an English university. They taught us awk programming and basic shell commands on a VAX running BSD 4.1 using it. I still have a copy. So by general readership they probably meant primer. -- Steve Mynott cv25519/ECF8B611205B447E091246AF959E3D6197190DD5
