1The following is a collection based on
2.URL "https://www.troff.org/papers.html" "troff.org/papers" .
3However, I found that many of the links referenced on that site are dead. I
4have instead downloaded and compiled pdfs from archive.org. Much of the
5material available was written at Bell Labs. The CSTR documents below refer to
6"Computer Science Technical Reports", a Bell Labs internal numbering system
7used in the past.
