An exclusive to Prentice Hall? I doubt it, especially since UNIX-related
stuff is usually available either to anyone willing to pay for it, or to
no-one, with the possible exception of academic researchers, outside the
company. I know for a fact that CBS College Publishing, and its Holt,
Rinehart and Winston subsidiary, also publich reprints of AT&T UNIX(R)
documentation; there may be others.
