Hi I *really* wish I'd kept labels off of the 9 track tapes that Western Electric shipped us in 1974 after I spent 6 months doing paperwork to get our original copy. Unix has been free for a long time. It's not always been easily available. If I still had a PDP-11 in the living room the tapes

Hi Back then our net (ARPA net) connection didn't get us to very many places. One of them, ummm, er, did indeed have a copy of what we were looking for. Not quite point and click to get it, but close. I guess I should have said it hasn't always been easily available *legally*. Bob On
