MERT absolutely predates PWB 1.2. MERT has papers

pwb 1.2 is 1978 or 1979.
I can not say, I have any knowledge so I would trust Rob's sources, but ...
I also what I would have thought MERT predates PWB. Heinz, are you able to
illuminate any of these details?
MERT was V4 while releases of PWB were V6 based.
I can verify and agree with the later of PWB 1.x being 6th edition, but the
MERT tidbit is interesting/thought-provoking. I frankly would have
expected the MERT folks to have started with something closer to 5th and
then tracked any significant differences as possible.
