Doug has kindly made available a scan of this document. I've placed
a copy of it into the Unix Archive at:

It's certainly an interesting read. It comes across as a mingling
of the CACM paper and the user manuals. I'd love to get a more
definite date than 1971, though.

Many thanks for this, Doug!

Cheers, Warren
