Or that emacs was in the v9 tree, in the religious

It doesn't look like it had the wide scale following that C or Fortan had
at this point.
Sadly my experience with C++ was mostly tied to Borland on the micro in
early 90's, which makes it look mature compared to these early versions.
It's great finding stuff like this in the tree hiding in plain sight, if
only you know what to look for. (http://unix.superglobalmegacorp.com/cgi-
