In reply to the question of what is in the various System V "books"

		Section 1 (commands) and 6 (games)

> 	Programmer Reference Manual	307-113
		Section 2 (system calls), 3 (library), 4 (file formats)
		and 5 (miscellany).  Section 3 is subdived these days
	
> 	Programming Guide		307-103
		Papers on C, C Libraries, Lint, Sdb, Fortran
		Ratfor, EFL, Curses and Terminfo

> 	User Guide			307-100
		I don't have this one.

Also available (although not mentioned in the original question are)

		and Section 7 (special files, including termio stuff)
		and Section 8 (system maintenance procedures)

Mostly the "papers" are recycled Bell Labs memos rather than new
documentation.
