Ok, another trivia question. where did xargs come from? I started with Edition 7 (Perkin Elmer V7 + bits of BSD 2.1) and I am pretty sure it wasn't there. I have a feeling it was printed in a book as shell script, somthing like Bourne's book, or Kernighan and Pike but I'am not sure. Anyone remember? -Steve

Does anyone have a record or pointer regarding the login names of the early Unix contributors? A few (aho, dmr, bwk, doug) are listed in http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/who/, but many others seem to be missing. In particular I'm interested in the login names of following people: S. R. Bourne D. Haight S. C. Johnson J. F. Maranzano L. E. McMahon S. I. Feldman J. F. Ossanna M. E. Lesk R. H. Morris D. A. Nowitz I guess the /etc/passwd file from a Bell Labs system of the mid 1970s would be ideal, but even partial recollections would help me.

10th Edition, 8th Edition

by Benjamin Huntsman

While the subject of historical stuff has been brought up, anyone thought about going another round with Attachmate to see if they'd extend the Ancient UNIX License to include v10, v9, and v8? Attachmate is the current owner these days, aren't they? I'm sure they, Novell, AT&T, and Lucent all don't care. But someone's still got to sign the line. I'm really hoping to see v10x86, like v7x86 someday!! I've got a copy of v8 I'd love to make available some day, and I know there are at least one or two copies of v10 still in existence. last I heard, there was no v9. Anyone here know anybody at Attachmate? Many thanks! -Ben

1974 CACM Paper, was Re: history of sbin?

by norman＠oclsc.org

Herr Doctor Wkt: Does anybody have a PDF of the 1974 Unix CACM paper, I seem to have misplaced my copy. ======= It appears to be generally available via the ACM Digital Library, of all places. (No, I'm not so smart: Google pointed me there.) http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=361061 It appears to be the genuine 1974 version, though my paper copy of that issue of CACM is buried behind too many boxes right now for me to dig it out and check. Disk storage for `The PDP-11/45 on which our UNIX installation is implemented' is as Warren describes for the 6th Edition update: 1MB fixed-head disk, four 2.5MB removable-cartridge drives, and a single 40MB removable-pack drive.

history of sbin?

by Jeremy C. Reed

I have heard the story a few times about sbin split is due to disk space, such as told at http://www.osnews.com/story/25556/Understanding_the_bin_sbin_usr_bin_usr_sb… http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2010-December/074114.html But I don't see any mention of it in 32V and not in BSD until around Net2 (like in 1991 src.README said ``... there has been a major reorganization of the file system. (You may have seen similar reorganizations on systems shipped by Sun Microsytems [sic] and Digital Equipment Corporation, among others.) ... /sbin same as /bin, but binaries for the root user''. The slides from Feb. 1988 for a BSD BOF at USENIX mentioned this sbin reorganization. Looking at "Unix Text Processing" (1987) and "Life with Unix" (1989) I didn't see any use of sbin/. (I didn't look at my other old books.) >From searching old 1980 usenet archives I only saw a few mentions (like /usr/brl/sbin/...). When did some (non-BSD) systems ship and document /sbin, /usr/sbin? Is the common story (liked linked above) the right story? Jeremy C. Reed echo uggc://errqzrqvn.arg/obbxf/ofq-uvfgbel/ | \ tr "noqruvxzabcefgl" "abdehikmnoprsty"
