Announcement of Preservation on January 11th, 2026.

Happy whichever time of day, I'd like to announce preservation of a scan
of the UNIX/32V Programmer's Manual, Version 1.0.  I wasn't aware of any
paper scans of an original (non-BSD-ized) 32V manual, and came across
a photo of this one while searching for some other stuff.  At first my
stomach jumped into my throat as I thought I was looking at a UNIX/TS
Version 1.0 manual (the UNIX/32V was hidden behind the report cover).
However, cross-referencing the dates and terminology soon revealed the
truth.

In any case, I contacted the poster and he indicated this was in a
bookshelf at an institution he used to work in, and luckily was able to
track the manual down.  This would be the Department of Computer Science
at Aberystwyth University (https://www.aber.ac.uk/en/cs).  The story
goes that they ordered 32V for a VAX 11/780 they acquired back in the
day and kept at least this manual.  There isn't any indication of them
having a paper copy of Volume 2(A/B) unfortunately, but luckily the
TROFF sources are in the 32V distro tape which is long since preserved.

Without further ado, I've placed the scans here:

https://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Documentation/Manuals/UNIX_32V_Version_1.0/

These are presented as each manual section along with the intro, covers,
and the divider tabs as separate documents.
