Various documents from the CD-ROM are currently posted at this
location:
http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~fateman/macsyma/docs/
The instructions on the CDROM are posted at
http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~fateman/macsyma/cdreadme.txt
which suggests that the recipient is encouraged to "pass
the demonstration programs [presumably with documentation!]
along to your associates."
I have notified Kalman Reti, reti@ai.mit.edu, the only person I have been
able to identify with the sale of commercial
Macsyma, of this posting. He has not objected or responded.
The documents are in pdf format, but at least for my reader seem
to start up somewhere other than page 1. If you click on |< it
goes to the first page. The directory looks like this.

Most material is of course specific to commercial macsyma 2.4, but
much is also relevant to earlier versions.
Good luck.
