In fact, several years ago I typed it in (from an Nth-generation photocopy
that reached me by obscure routes), added some commentary of my own, and
posted it to the net. I am not sure, in retrospect, that this was a proper
thing to do, but I *did* do it, and consequently the IH style guide is
widely distributed outside AT&T. I was never hassled over it, although
I am sufficiently unsure of the propriety of my actions that I'm not
willing to post it again.
(My uncertainty is primarily over copyright issues. I was never an
employee of the Bell System or any of its current fragments, so there
is no non-disclosure issue for me personally, although there might be
one for somebody further up the lengthy path by which it reached me.
Things were a bit more casual in those days.)
