You might try the 2.0 reference manual:

****

It is now possible to get the 2.0 documentation from AT&T:


	reference manual: 307-146
	library manual: 307-145
 	selected readings: 307-144
	release notes: 307-090

(you might try 1-800-432-6600).

The direct number is 317-352-8557 (that's US Central time).
The prices for those docs are:
Ref: $25, lib: $35, selected readings: $30, release notes: $20.
