I was working on an annotated (unofficial) edition of K&R updated to the latest C standards, with commentary like the Lion's book on UNIX, completely typeset in LaTeX. Sadly, I don't think it will ever see the light of the day due to copyright.

I had some correspondence with DMR in my early college days. It would have been an ideal tribute.

Our initial request was forwarded to Pearson and their lawyer responded with a heavy-handed threat.


If you’re interested, I’d try to get ahold of an executive at Pearson. Some big corp lawyer has 0 concept of the significance of your work and doesn’t have the authority to green light anything anyway.
