I did a little looking around and found net.unix-wizards, a newsgroup I had heard about but never really explored. Within, I found a post asking for a copy of the "infamous" HAKMEM document, another thing I'd heard stories about but had never seen. Anyway, it turns out that a copy of this document, along with all the MIT AI lab memos from 1959 onwards, are available online... a veritable treasure trove of old lore. (Maybe it's well-known, but I didn't know before this.) Anyway, here's a link to the archive, and one to the HAKMEM doc. Enjoy. archive - http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/5460/browse HAKMEM - http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/6086 -- I drive a '74 AMC Hornet in my dreams. Also, I really like cheese.
