Do you mean you have a UNIX/TS manual or is this in reference to the acknowledgements in the PWB 1.0 manual?

Something I often wonder about Pirzada's work, there is mention of all of these documents and versions but that does beg the question if any of these specimens were followed up on and scanned/preserved in any way as part of the work.  PWB 2.0, PG III, and UNIX/TS would fill large holes in my mandiff efforts.
