reader.pdf McIlroy's annotated guide to research Unix contents.pdf McIlroy's catalog of the contents of each version of research Unix cover.pdf Cover page From: Doug McIlroy Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2011 21:05:32 -0500 To: mjd@plover.com Subject: distributing the Unix Reader You are welcome to pass the machine-readable fragment of Bell Labs CSTR 139 on, with the caveat that there's not much to it, since the heart of the original printed document -- 80 pages of readings from assorted research Unix manuals -- is missing. The fragment now comes in three parts, http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~doug/cover.pdf, .../reader.pdf, .../contents.pdf I have just updated reader.pdf with a few trivial corrections that had been penciled into my master copy from time to time. I have not decided what further resurrection I might do. Scan the missing pages? Append an addendum about v10, the final research Unix System? As the cover sheet indicates, I've been proceeding with "all deliberate speed" since 2009, when I converted the machine-readable part to groff. doug
