Those are probably LaTeX output formatted for the LN03 printer,
and the .lpr files are probably formatted for some other printer.
The text files are actually in DOS-11 or RMS-11 format, from the
days of the PDP-11, and have counted-length records. They begin
with a 16-bit record length and may contain a fixed-length printer
control field not included in the record length, but probably
not. If they've been separated from their header, then it's hard
to tell. There will be a pad byte at the end of the record if the
count is odd so that the next length starts at a sixteen-bit
boundary.
However, for the next 24 hours, you may obtain copies of the
following text files from www6.covert.org:
dectalk_ownersman.txt
dectalk_support.txt
dectalk_progrmmer_man.txt
That should comprise just about all of the documentation for the DTC01.
