Such documentation is available to hardware and software vendors who
meet AT&T's standards for making interesting things for the unix pc,
under non-disclosure. From the sound of your requirement I doubt that
you would qualify, although I can probably dig up the name of the
person to contact if you would like it. Any disclosure of this
information without such an agreement would be looked upon dimly by
AT&T and would probably be followed by platoons of lawyers. I don't
make these rules, you understand, I'm just parroting the company line
for once.
