"A Commentary on the UNIX Operating System" and "UNIX Operating
System Source Code Level Six" were published in June, 1977, by
J. Lions of the Department of Computer Science at the University of
New South Wales. The frontspiece of both documents say that
"Outside the Bell System, distribution of this document has been
restricted to holders of a license for the UNIX Time Sharing
Operating System." I recommend that you contact either Mr. John
Lions of New South Wales or AT&T Bell Laboratories for information
on how to obtain a copy of these documents.
