That turned out to be the wrong paper. 

I'm looking for a paper that describes the (early) dialect of C that let you do stuff like this:

struct w {
char lo, hi;
};

int x;

char b = x.lo;

I can't find my hardcopy so was looking for a pdf.

More generally, just replace "cm.bell-labs.com" with "9p.io".
