[Lions book]
Wow. Time to start Xeroxing it again... :)
Latex source to the book was posted to alt.folklore.computers circa
1994. I'm guessing that the poster (a "Leo") typed it in by hand
given the comments that came with the readme.
Yes, that's the one I got. From memory, the subject was "Leo's
notes"
and it was uuencoded or some such. Strangely, not many people got it.
Google agrees that the subject was "Leo's notes" and it was posted in
7 uuencoded parts in mid-June 1994. Unfortunately, Google doesn't
appear to have kept a copy of the posting (just the whinges about the
size).
I don't remember seeing it (I don't think I looked at AFC very often then)
and don't seem to have a copy. I'd also be interested if anyone still
has a copy.
