Does anyone have a copy of the infamous HAKMEM (MIT AI-MEMO  239) Feb 1972??

Name your price.

Is there any chance that the HAKMEM is on line somewhere?  1972 was the
dark ages, but not quite as much so at MIT... since ITS doesn't have
any security, if somebody knows where it is on MC, we can all get it.

I have my copy right here...

;==================================================
ITEM 169 (Gosper, Lenard, Mann, Root):
To count the ones in a PDP6/10 word:
[numbers in octal, of course -trb]

	LDB B,[014300,,A]	; or MOVE B,A then LSH B,-1
	AND B,[333333,,333333]
	SUB A,B
	LSH B,-1
	AND B,[333333,,333333]
	SUBB A,B		; each octal digit is replaced
				;  by the number of ones in it
	LSH B,-3
	ADD A,B
	AND A,[070707,,070707]
	IDIVI A,77		; casting out 63's
;==================================================

I once figured out why this worked.


From the MIT AIL bibliography description of HAKMEM:

   "I keep HAKMEM in the bathroom, it's great reading."  -Knuth


I think HAKMEM exists on disk at MIT or BBN somewhere.
No, you can't have my copy for $1000.

I will provide copies for around $10 for copying and mailing charges.
How much interest is there?  The source, even if it were available,
wasn't exactly easily readable in its raw form.  But if enough people
want to see it, a revised version might be produced.  Any contributions
for VAX hacks?

It is probably on MIT-MC.  My guess is that the filename is
"HUMOR;HAKMEM >".

Forgive my ignorance, but I've not heard of HAKMEM before.  What is it?
A compilation of PDP-11 hacks, perhaps?  Do I want one?

Will one of the cogniscenti who actually have a copy please post the full
title, date and report number.  Most MIT reports are still available from NTIS
if you have an adequate description.  (HAKMEM is hardly enough, since NTIS
has no nickname cross reference).

In response to message regarding copies of HAKMEM,
I would be willing to send ten dollars, but I need
an US snail address since I am not aware of ARPANET's
Please respond to the net or to me personally.
Thank you.
