Among the papers of the late Bob Morris I have found

Unix manual that I don't remember at all--a draft by
Dennis Ritchie, in the style of (but not designated as)
a technical report with numbered sections and subsections.
Doug has kindly made available a scan of this document. I've placed
a copy of it into the Unix Archive at:

It's certainly an interesting read. It comes across as a mingling
of the CACM paper and the user manuals. I'd love to get a more
definite date than 1971, though.
Many thanks for this, Doug!
