This directory contains various PDP-8 and DECmate documentation, including part of the OS/8 V3D manual set (more coming as soon as Lee and I finish scanning it in). From the January 1985 Software Documentation Products Directory (EJ-26361-78), first page: 3. RIGHT TO COPY Beginning January 1, 1985, Digital customers are given a right to copy, at no charge, any Digital Archival Software Documentation Publication (excluding restricted or third party owned) that we no longer offer for sale. However, the copyright is retained as the exclusive property of Digital Equipment Corporation. I am hoping that this covers machine readable copies. If you're a DEC lawyer and you think not, please drop me a line (at wilson@dbit.com). I'm eager to avoid getting in trouble and will be very cooperative. Meanwhile I'll assume this is OK. Thanks to Lee Nichols for making all of this available, and for doing almost all of the OCR/editing work.

N.B. be careful when transferring these files, most of the underlining is done using line overprinting with . Some file transfer programs (e.g. C-Kermit) naively assume that when transferring a standard NET-ASCII file with -terminated lines to a UNIX host, all you have to do is strip out all of the CRs, when of course you should really strip only those CRs that are immediately followed by LFs. If you end up with a bunch of underline characters off the right margin of some lines, you blew it. If your destination is a DOS machine, one solution would be to do the transfer in binary mode, and then run the file through the ADDCR.COM filter, which is available at: ftp://ftp.dbit.com/pub/ibmpc/util/addcr.com There is a corresponding REMCR.COM filter there that does CR removal correctly.
