The Paul Green Multics Collection contains papers written by Paul Green, and programs written by Paul and several other Multicians.
Papers
My paper "Multics Virtual Memory: Tutorial and Reflections" is available.
My 1973 MIT S.B. thesis "An implementation of SEAL on Multics" is available. 93MB PDF. This thesis describes the implementation of a code generator for the Seal language on Multics. The implementation developed extensive error handling techniques for both the code generator itself, and the Seal programs it compiles.
Programs
A few sample PL/I programs are available that show a few random examples of Multics user-level code.
case.pl1 Multics PL/I program to implement a "case" active function; by Paul Green.
clock_speed.pl1 Multics PL/I program to time the Multics clock builtin; by Paul Green.
cookie.pl1 Multics "Cookie Monster" command, by Chris Tavares.
copy_bad_mst.pl1 Multics PL/I program to copy a Multics Standard Tape; by Paul Green.
copy_tape.pl1 Stratus-on-Prime PL/I program to copy a tape; by Paul Green.
