Are there any manuals that you have that have not been
scanned? v2? v3?
The trade pub V7 was in a local bookstore for a while, but expensive.
I'm sorry now that I didn't buy it.
Courtesy of BWK I have a V8 manual, and I bought a V9 manual from Bell
Labs sometime in the early 90s. I remember you sending me an email that
you had to check if you could sell one to me. It was like $50. I bought
the V10 manuals when they came out, and I also have the published Plan
9 manuals. :-)
