Yes, that's the real Ken. Those who have communicated
with him in the past (and didn't get a direct note as
some of us did) should notice the new e-mail address,
kenbob(a)gmail.com.

Somewhat late to the discussion, but GeckOS may be another curious

yes. the unix manual was published before that,
but i dont think it was released that early. it had
a manual page on the shell.
this paper might be the first paper ever released
outside bell labs.
