Peter Salus noted there was workshop in Newport, RI, in 1984 concerning
"Distributed UNIX." The report on “Distributed UNIX” by Veigh S. Meer [a
transparent pseudonym] appeared in /;login:/ 9.5 (November 1984), pp.
5-9. So who was "Veigh S. Meer"? The affiliation says "Bellcore," but
who was there in 1984? Peter's first thought was Peter Langston.
Any ideas?

Call me slow, but can someone please explain the joke? If it's American
humo[u]r, then remember that I'm British/Australian...
There is no such thing as American humour, because Yanks don't know
how to spell.
They can't get the wood either.

When I get back to a keyboard I thought maybe it would be nice to share
some Greg stories, I have enough of them. So I'll try and do that.
If anyone wants to do that in person, USENIX ATC is next
week and would be an appropriate venue. Perhaps a Greg
Chesson Memorial BOF?
