Correct. That's how I came in contact with it (and Emacs, for that

I spent at least 2 years writing code with BDS C, maybe more. Then moved
to a Unix PC and never looked back (rotating disk is a lot nicer than
floppies).

As I mentioned before, I remember showing Dennis Leor's Unix clone he built
with it running on a Z80 / S100 box at an early Usenix and dmr commenting
he was impressed and that it reminded him of early Unix versions.
