[TUHS] OSF Research OS Collected Papers

[Al Kossow via TUHS]

I came across copies of a few papers that I think came from the multi-volume OSF Research Institute OS Collected Papers
Did they ever make these volumes generally available?

Strange, I downloaded all the postscript files from the other links
without problem.

The bibliography may also be helpful, mentions which volume of
the collected papers to check.
