All,
The Unix Sixth edition programmer's manual and other documents for use
with Unix time-sharing system are available online, in html and postscript
form from Wolfgang Helbig's site:
http://wwwlehre.dhbw-stuttgart.de/~helbig/os/v6/doc/index.html
There are papers some missing from the "Documents for use with the Unix
Time-Sharing System":
Hmm - these should be with the v6 distribution - some of them are coming
with later editions... and except for updates to said system will be go'nuf
That said you are asking about the versions from v6. I do not seem to
have hardcopies easy to find. I'll keep looking there is some stuff in my
attic.
RATFOR - A Preprocessor for Rational Fortran
NROFF User's Manual
A Manual for Tmg Compiler-writing Language
This is the doc that you might not find in other places, as I think tmg
stopped being distributed at some point. Doug as one of the authors I
believe may know the story.
On the Security of UNIX
The M6 Macro Processor
I think you mean m4 not m6
A System for Typesetting Mathematics
DC - An Interactive Desk Calculator
BC - An Arbitrary Precision Desk-Calculator Language
The Portable C Library (on UNIX)
UNIX Summary
Some of these are more interesting to me than others, but I tend towards
shiny objects, so there is no telling when they will be of critical
interest in the future. I have done quite a bit of searching for the NROFF
document and the portable C library document and while I have found related
works, I haven't come across the originals for sixth edition. Do any of
y'all know where any or all of these documents are archived in their
original/reproduced form?
Warren's V6 seems have many of them in:
