Hello everyone, I'm currently laying the
groundwork for a restart of my mandiff project, expanding it to encompass not just the
manual-proper, but also the documents leading to the "Documents for UNIX"
collections as well. Thus far I'm about halfway done on a ROFF restoration of the
earliest surviving draft of Dennis Ritchie's The UNIX Time-Sharing System paper[1],
reconstructed from existing, later NROFF text and ROFF conventions from the Third Edition
manual[2].
