I have a copy named CSTR_54_1976.pdf with a SHA256 checksum of 71d8592991635966cc86a184d7a5b07163298a53c2a900fa0e9bf1a3eabeeb7d. Is this it? It's decent-enough quality, but I wanted to check to make sure there wasn't a higher-resolution copy I could be working off. So, no complaints. How urgently are the C/A/T typefaces needed? Too bad Unix V7 didn't have Perl, since this is basically a text > transformation problem. It *does* have awk(1) and sed(1), IIRC, which I can get by with for most text-wrangling tasks. :) Let me know in private mail where you got stuck. Maybe I can help. I'll probably need you to review any shims I write for any C89+ stdio(3) functions that don't exist in V7's C compiler (which is surprisingly limited)… Thanks! — John On Thu, 18 Jan 2024 at 01:08, G.
