You can find the artical in _UNIX_programer's_manual_ (revised and
expanded version) Volume2 by Bell Labs. This is a portion of the
user's manual for UNIX V7 (as far as I can tell). It also gives a
tour through pcc, and has _LOTS_ of other intersesting info (I found
about half the book to be good summer reading [outside of school, or
job]). It is a large green paper back with holes (for a 3 ring binder,
and the spine comes off if you want to go through the work of doing
it). Volume1 is the online manuals, and while usefull, not nearly
as interesting. It is a fairly easy book to get a hold of (around
here anyway).
