All of the sample server documentation is contained in mit/doc/Server.  The
most comprehensive document would be 'ddx.tbl.ms' which describes the
interfaces between the device-independent and device-dependent portions of
the server.

Unfortunately, there has never been any extensive effort to completely
document the interfaces and algorithms used in the sample server.  In many
cases, the algorithms are described in comments appearing inside the source
code.

Naturally, I think the 100000+ lines of documentation to be found in
mit/server/.../*.c to be the most accurate available :-)
