  You probably don't have to dig through any journals to find the
article.  The BSD and Ultrix source tapes both have it on-line in the
/usr/doc directory.

  On BSD systems, it's in /usr/doc/usd/32.diction, and on Ultrix systems
(at least according to the Ultrix3.0 sources), it's in /usr/doc/diction.
 The document is the same on both systems, and you should be able to
format and print it by cd'ing into the appropriate directory and typing
"tbl rm0 rm1 rm2 | troff -ms"
