Grant - the troff input for all of those titles you listed should be in the
/usr/doc directory in the V6 or V7 archives that Warren has. It's pretty
easy to push them through groff, you may have to tweak the input a little
though. Contact me off list if you still need help,
Clem

I contacted Mel and hope to hear back. …
… Someone else might have already been in touch, …
I emailed Mel directly and expressed interest in the following books:
· The M4 Marco Processor
· SED - A Non-Interactive Text Editor
· Awk - A pattern Scanning and Processing Language
· Yacc: Yet Another Compiler-Compiler
· RATFOR - A Preprocessor for a Rational Fortran
Here's my comment as to why I'm interested in the aforementioned titles.
I am interested in the following items if they are unclaimed. I used sed
and awk on a daily basis. I also have what some
would consider an
unhealthy interest in M4. I've written things in M4 that some might say
become their own markup language for config files. Which is reminiscent of
what I think YACC is supposed to be, hence my interest in that Technical
Memorandum, to learn more. RATFOR, likewise.
The only title that I'd *really* /like/ to get my hands on is "The M4
Macro Processor". (See aforementioned unhealthy interest in M4.)
I'm quite happy to share with the community. I just want to save the
materials from the bin if nobody else claims them.
Note: I've not heard anything back from Mel yet.
