There are 2 ways to obtain Mach documentation.  You can send mail to
mach@cs.cmu.edu.  Please provide your full name and surface mail address
in the message.

You can also FTP the documents.  Ftp to wb1.cs.cmu.edu (128.2.250.16),
as "anonymous", then "cd /usr/mach/public/doc".  You can then use
the standard ftp commands, e.g. get, ls with relative path names for the files.
The articles are available in postscript(.ps) and ascii(.doc).  There is 
an INDEX file available in that directory.

There is a Mach bibiliography available as mach_bib.{doc,ps} on wb1, or you
can request it by mail. In general the Mach user and references are on line,
there are some papers in the open literature, but conference papers and 
PhD thesis have to be mailed from CMU. If you are requesting large ammounts
of paper, particularly from overseas, you may be asked to pay the postage.
