Check if it is at archive.org and if not, upload it. 
I see several versions of the Aztec C Compiler manual scanned.
This looks like the earliest:

Not too hard, unless you need encryption support.

I remember playing around with MGR, a non-X11 GUI that came with my
first Redhat distro. (There was X11, too, but it was provided as
an alternative.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ManaGeR

I see no one has yet run it in emulation to provide a screenshot for
the article. Richard Kettlewell, in this group, answered my question
in 2012 when I said I remembered that program but couldn't remember
it's name. I noted the lack of screenshot in my reply then (message ID
<eli$1311091452@qz.little-neck.ny.us> ).

betting no one has ported MGR to 64 bits, and that a port is needed
