Does anyone know of any good docs. on 4.2bsd /bin/cc??  I'm
not looking for a man-type page.  I'm looking for a description
of exactly how it treats certain variable declarations, the 
parse trees it uses, etc. 

The new Dragon Book (Compilers: Techniques...) Aho, Hopcraft, & Ulman 
[1986] references an article published by Dennis Ritchie in 1979, called
"A Tour Through The UNIX C Compiler" but it is nowhere to be found.
(does not exist in any UC library, and not mentioned even in Citation
Index for {1979|1980}). I sense it might be only an internal document 
published internally by/for AT&T and not distributed at all.  Does any-
one know where I can find it??

Thanks in advance for any direction.
