}It's not a set, it's MIT AI memo 169, which went out of print years ago.
}Maybe the Boston Computer Museum will reissue it.

Last I heard it was *not* out of print and that if you just asked the
distribution folks at the AI Lab you could order a copy.  Couple of bucks as
I recall.

}Lots of PDP-10 tricks, a few nifty recurrences, some display hacks,
}most of which you can now find in textbooks.

PDP-6 hacks, actually.  Lots of interesting math, too.
