[TUHS] Re: Thank you Henry Bent and Marshal McKusick

The JHU kernel was Version 6 (Research). All the development was done by the Undergraduate Computer Society at Johns Hopkins notably: Mike Muuss, Robert Jesse, me, Robert Miles, and a few others. Mike went to BRL around the summer of 1979. Any changes after that were done by BRL (federal) employees). So once you have the rights for V6 there’s nothing really additional. We did add the V7 file system as a switch but I think that wasn’t done with V7 code. ------ Original Message ------ From "Henry Bent" <henry.r.bent(a)gmail.com> To "Ron Natalie" <ron(a)ronnatalie.com> Cc "The Eunuchs Hysterical Society" <tuhs(a)tuhs.org> Date 6/10/2025 2:09:04 PM Subject Re: Thank you Henry Bent and Marshal McKusick It's one of the hidden gems of the PDP-11 world.
