BLTJ special UNIX issue

[Doug Gwyn <gwyn>]

I am surprised that none of the newsgroups that I read has any mention
of the new issue of AT&T Bell Laboratories Technical Journal (Oct. 84),
which is the second "UNIX special issue".  I returned the copy I had
borrowed, but as I recall, some of the articles I found  most
interesting were on the following topics:

	UNIX development history (Ritchie)
		The early days.

	Blit (Pike)
		How mpx works and why stream I/O is so neat.

	Blit debugger (Cargill)
		I think "joff" is one of the funniest program names ever.

	UNIX security issues (Morris, perhaps someone else)
		Administrators: READ THIS before the crackers do!

	Breaking "crypt" (Weinberger and someone else)
		Gives a good idea of how one goes about this sort
		of thing, although not much fundamental use is made
		of statistical approaches (they didn't need to!).

	Stream I/O (Ritchie)
		Stackable line disciplines (finally!).

Perhaps someone else will post the actual table of contents.
