Nowitz [...] Your correspondents have done a good job of reconstructing the old list. Alas, I can't remember the only missing entry, Dick Haight's login. The above list, however, wants one small correction. Robert Morris did not have a middle name, the "h" was a figment for filling in forms that wanted a middle initial. Another important name is L. L.

mancvt

by Steve Simon

I was trying to generate PDFs of some PWB manual pages but they use V6 macros. I have found tmac.an6 which generates somthing readable but stamps each page with: THIS MANUAL ENTRY NEEDS TO BE CONVERTED - SEE mancvt(1) and man(7) Anyone know of mancvt, I cannot find it. -Steve

xargs - where from?

by Steve Simon

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.

Adding the TUHS people...

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
