My VARM is
"Revision 6.1" and is not obviously marked with an
edition number.
1982-05-20, right?
Right.
The early VARMs, the EK-VAXAR-RM ones, are lovely:
100% pure ASCII,
except for boldface section headers the book is line printer output.
Well, and chapter headings and title page.
Oh, and one trivium(?) I noticed while thumbing through it just now:
the page that ought to be page 3-16 has a header that's a duplicate of
page 3-15's; and page 3-17 is not "5-May-80 -- Rev 7 Page 3-17" but
rather "5-MAY-80 -- REV 7 PAGE 3-17" (the former matches pages in the
immediate vicinity and in general style matches most of the book,
though much (all?) of Chapter 10 uses "March" instead of "Mar").
