Draft-KandR-C-Book1977.pdf
------------------
   In December 2022, Tom Lyon found a old copy of the first draft of the
   book tto later be refered too as K&R1 or simply "The White Book."
   This version from 1997, that was made available to some members of
   the UNIX group in MH as xerographic copy to review and comment before
   its publication in 1978.

Life_with_Unix.pdf
------------------
   In January 2016, Don Libes and Sandy Ressler donated a copy of their
   wonderful book to the archive. Sandy's e-mail says:

   Don forwarded your email about getting an electronic copy
   of Life with Unix...it's attached as a PDF!
   It should be cool to make it available (and Don and I agree that is
   fine)...we also at some point a few years ago got Prentice-Hall to give
   us the copyright or to at least say do whatever you want with it. Of
   course I can't find that email but it should be fine. There are of
   course illustrations in the book that are copyright by others that we
   obtained permission to use in the book so we can't give permission for   
   those...however I doubt that would be a real issue with anyone....so
   feel free to use this in your archive...take care...Sandy
   PS this is probably a pdf of the very first version/printing of the
   book with no subsequent corrections

In 2017, Russell Page donated Life_with_Unix_Acrobat_indexed.pdf, saying:

   I downloaded "Life with UNIX" today and attacked it with an ancient
   copy of Acrobat 8 Professional.

   I've aligned the page numbers the viewer displays with the
   numbers printed on the pages and on the Contents page, and added a
   bookmark/outline tree. I've checked everything in the latest Acrobat
   and Sumatra readers and it all looks OK.

   In principal I could also add hyperlinks from the contents page to
   the text headings. In practice, this is a very error prone and tedious
   process, so I didn't bother.

   Please feel free to put it up on your great web site.

------------------
    The book from Prentice Hall called: "A Software Tools Sampler" by
    Webb Miller (ISBN 0-13-822305) is out of print but can be found in
    both the used book market or borrowed from the Internet Archive:
    https://archive.org/details/softwaretoolssam00mill  The book
    a technical guide that provides algorithms and C source code for
    some Unix-like utilities, including a highly portable subset vi
    editor that is know to run on both 8-bit CP/M systems to much larger
    systems that provide a C compiler and ANSI X3.64 compatible display
    interface. Miller focuses on practical software development,
    specifically teaching how to build tools for:
	+ File manipulation: Algorithms for updating and comparing files.
	+ Text processing: Code for searching and editing text.
	+ Screen editing: It includes the source code for "s," a tiny,
	  vi-like screen editor.
	+ Simplicity: The projects are designed to be small, easy to
	  read, and functional without requiring complex libraries
	  like curses

------------------
    The book from Prentice Hall called: "Panic! - Unix System Crash Dump
    Analysis" by Chris Blake and Kimberley Brown (ISBN 0-13-149386-8)
    is a introduction to UNIX system crash dump analysis, this is the
    first book to discuss in detail UNIX system panics, crashes and
    hangs, their causes, what to do when they occur, how to collect
    information about them, how to analyze that information, and how to
    get the problem resolved.  It can be found on the used book market,
    but the companion CD is often missing.  In April of 2026, this file
    is a tar of the data from that CD was made by Greg 'groggy' Lehey.
    Please note this CD itself was in a SunOS format that was not any of
    the base ISO 9660 standard, or either POSIX Rock Ridge [SUSP, IEEE
    P1281 + RRIP, IEEE 1282], or Microsofts' Joliet formats. Greg and
    others member of the TUHS mailing list had copies of the disk and
    they all got the same type of error reading their copy of the CD.
    At the time of this edit to the "readme", we believe that this
    tarball is complete, but it is possible it is missing some files.
