Just an aside, note that those tutorials, and gobs of other nice stuff,
can still be obtained quite easily - in Europe from EUUG, in the U.S.,
I believe, from Usenix - as part of the 4.3 BSD Manual Set.  A GREAT
buy at 50 pounds, even if you don't even CARE about 4.3 BSD at all,
just for the great, timeless Unix stuff.  (Kernighan & Pike is an even
BETTER buy, I'll admit... so get both!).
