Long shot, but: Does anyone have a copy of "Webster's Second on the Head of a Pin" by Robert Morris and Ken Thompson? The Intertron is failing me.

@fugueish Mine as well. I dropped a note to the TUHS mailing list, which Ken reads from time to time, and which has quite a few other Bell Labs veterans as subscribers. Fingers crossed!

@fugueish Success! None other than Doug McIlroy saw my post, and sent a copy [of "Webster's Second on the Head of a Pin" by Robert Morris and Ken Thompson, an internal Bell Labs memo from 1974] to TUHS for safekeeping!
