[TUHS] Several Missing UNIX Documents Procured

[segaloco via TUHS]

Hello one and all!  I wanted to share news of a recent document haul that contains many interesting bits.  The highlights are:

CB-UNIX Programmer's Manual 2.3 (already preserved, but will skim for differences with extant scans)

Documents for UNIX 4.0 (ditto)

Documents for UNIX/PWB 1.0 (some missing bits in extant scans, I intend to scan this again)

UNIX Programmer's Manual Program Generic Issue 3 (seemingly identical to the scanned copy but a generation or two down the line)

UNIX Program Generic Issue 3 Documents (basically PG3 Volume 2, lotsa cool stuff here!)

UNIX Programmer's Manual No. 2 SCCS Issue 5 (looks to be V1 and V2 although the organization is quite different)

WwB 2.0 Source Code (circa 1982, I think it's all there)

UNIX Course 923 Shell Programming Workshop (UNIX course given by AT&T in 1983)

UNIX Course 931 Advanced C Language Programming

There are other odds and ends, and the seller found another binder already and may continue to do so, I've arranged to check in again on Friday.  Among the random bits here too are two issues of the WECo UNIX Systems Newsletter that, among other things, detail "UNIX Release 6.0".  From the February 1983 newsletter:

> UNIX System Release 6.0 planning and development is continuing on schedule.  The target ready-to-order
> date is December 15, 1983.  The most probable features include:
>
> - Demand Paging
> - Job Control
> - shell Enhancements
> - Curser(sic)/Terminfo Package
> - Selected BSD commands (ls,mail,pg)
> - cron/at Package
> - Arbitrary length variable names in C (flexnames)

The earliest SVR2 manuals, those distributed internally to BTL facilities, are dated December, 1983, so presumably USG delivered on their ready-to-order timeline.

Anywho, all in all the most exciting bits to me are the PG3 secondary documents and the No. 2 SCCS manual.  I don't know when I'll get to scanning it all but I at least hope to get the newsletters scanned as UNIX Release 6.0 artifacts.

More to come!
