The cppreference.com wiki says "1982: C with Classes reference manual published", but so far I haven't been able to track that down. Is that the correct title?

https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/history

There are at least these two papers from that time period:

Stroustrup, Bjarne. "Classes: an abstract data type facility for the C language." ACM Sigplan Notices 17.1 (1982): 42-51.

https://doi.org/10.1145/947886.947893

Stroustrup, Bjarne. "Adding classes to the C language: An exercise in language evolution." Software: Practice and Experience 13.2 (1983): 139-161.

Here’s a stretch, but does anybody have a copy of the 1982-ish C With Classes Reference Manual kicking around. I can take it in n/troff or a more modern format if you have it.
