It is worse than my worst nightmare!  Every time I read something about
compilers, I am referred to "that classic, Wulf etc"  But is it available
to the general public?  NoooOOOOooo!  It is out of print and those lucky
people who have a copy don't let them out of their sight.  I know that it
does exist because I once saw (and touched) a copy.  I will make an
offer publicly right now, if anyone will lend me their copy, and if I can
get permission from the publishers, I will type the entire text into a
troff format file and make it available to the entire net!  Any takers?
