That sounds remarkably like the "Unix Documention" [sic] that Dr. John
Lions had printed, way before his famous books. The two manuals contained
all the man pages, an intro to "ed", "roff", C etc, which is how I taught
myself Unix and C before he started teaching it (I was originally hired to
support RSX-11D!).
