UNIX's power came from hundreds of brilliant programmers who created and documented tools to solve day-to-day problems. They'd typically write a reference document (a "man page"), and if the tool was significant, a technical paper (or "supplementary document") describing its use. This volume collects papers relating to miscellaneous "user" tools, principally text editors and document processors, and provides in-depth documentation of complex programs such as the shell, editors, and word processing utilities.
