Hi Matt,

Someone else (whoever is more interested in this line) will have to
thank you for this portion of the work, but the parts I am happiest
for are these:

Thank you for confirming all of my hypotheses here! Thus it appears
that:
1) 1983 HRW version of V7 manual is not "the real thing", instead that
Holy Original status belongs to the ringed binder version;
2) All non-Berkeley supplementary docs in 4.2BSD Usenix print are from
the same plates as Holy Original V7 docs, thus the scans uploaded
to archive.org by Ms. Erica Fischer can serve as a perfect reference
for exactly how those Holy Original docs looked, for those of us
who don't have a physical copy of that Holy Original to look at.
Once again, thank you very much for this very awesome work!
