        !             8: operating system that is used
        !             9: at the system's original home, the
        !            10: computing science research center of AT&T Bell Laboratories.
        !            11: Volume 2 discusses certain aspects of the system in more detail.
        !            12: For tutorial information, consult a standard reference such as
        !            13: .I "The Unix Programming Environment
        !            14: by Kernighan and Pike.
        !            15: .LP
        !            16: Within the area it surveys, this volume attempts
        !            17: to be timely, complete and concise.
        !            18: Where the latter two objectives conflict,
        !            19: the obvious is often left unsaid in favor of brevity.
        !            20: It is intended that each program be described
        !            21: as it is, not as it should be.
        !            22: Inevitably, as snapshots of a living system, some of
        !            23: the descriptions may soon go out of date.
        !            24: When that happens, users may find the latest word in
        !            25: an on-line form of this book.
        !            26: .LP

        !            29: (Some `pages' spill over beyond one sheet of paper.)
        !            30: The name of a page is in its upper corners 
        !            31: together with the section number.
        !            32: Sections 3 and 9 have further substructure as described in
        !            33: their respective introductions.
        !            34: Pages are arranged alphabetically within sections.
