[9fans] a research unix reader
9fans, a few months ago, at a friends request, i acquired a copy of a research unix reader and scanned it, and i put it on archive.org. the pdf and some other formats are available, but the conversion is not very good, so the pdf is the best bet. https://archive.org/details/a_research_unix_reader perhaps it will give curious minds a little insight into from whence plan 9 was begat. pgpXUIWH0gJ3h.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: [9fans] a research unix reader
Many years ago (around 1991) one of my mentors who's passed away gave me a many generations old-photocopy of a document with examples of Unix coding (shared memory, pipes, etc). It seemed to be part of a training guide from Bell labs. I no longer have a copy of the document and remember far too little to do a Google search. I had hopes the document posted here might be the same but it doesn't seem to be. Anyone here have a vague clue what document I may have been looking at? I certainly don't need that document for any technical reason, but at least would like to know who was responsible for it since it was such a pivotal document in my career* that I'd like to send thanks where thanks is due. (*that and the Unix 3B1 that a buddy rescued from the university dumpster for me and some long forgotten soul who gave me a full disk and manual set for the same machine). blessings! -joe On Sun, Mar 30, 2014 at 4:30 PM, Nick Owens misch...@9.offblast.org wrote: On Sun, Mar 30, 2014 at 01:26:05PM -0700, Bakul Shah wrote: http://doc.cat-v.org/unix/unix-reader/ yes. the maintainer of cat-v.org was the 'friend' who requested the document. :-)
