That certainly gave me somewhere to start. Afte= r stepping through the circa 1983 BTL SVR2 manual, the only Whippany-specif= ic pages I found related to a "DI-3000" printing system from Precision Visu= als.

Whether it would've been related, couldn't say.= Much of what I can find on DI-3000 is advertising materials and articles = about specific applications, but no general user material. I'm glad to have the V7 and V10 editions on hand, but I didn't know V8 and = V9 also saw print release, although just now searching I did find what appe= ared to be a comb-bound print of V8, but couldn't find a second source for = the image (https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/C5112AQHO14UEpqFPPQ/article-co= ver_image-shrink_600_2000/0/1520220760198?e=3D2147483647&v=3Dbeta&t=3DRt8Iy= YB6GgD5RIBjBAjwP8hgcxcuKML0BwIxgzhLW0M). Anywho, I'll add DI-3000 to my list of things to comb for history of every = now and then, maybe something cool will pop up. - Matt G. ------- Original Message ------- On Wednesday, April 19th, 2023 at 1:10 PM, Douglas McIlroy wrote: > > Does anyone know of any of the tools, formats, practices, etc. used in = producing the actual graphical covers of various published UNIX manuals? >=20 >=20 > The Bell Labs publication department at Whippany did the physical > design for the bound versions of the Research Unix manual--from v7 as > a trade brook through v10, also a trade book..
