Speaking of assigning some file ownerships to people who were
historcially involved in created Unix back at that point in time, have
we let any of them know about our successful ressurection? Maybe could
get ken or dmr to write a "preface" to the readme file that will
inevitably come into existance once we make together a "turnkey"
distro of this for folks to play with in SIMH or something?

Now, I know
that ken worked on the Fortran compiler, Joe Ossanna (jfo)
wrote roff, and in V6 & V7, ken had uid 6 and dmr had uid 7. So I
propose the following:
- add ken == 6, dmr == 7, jfo == 4 to /etc/passwd and /etc/uids, as
new files in fs/new. Thus jfo will own /bin/roff and ken will own
/bin/cal
- modify the permissions file so that the Fortran files which are
uid 28 become uid 6 == ken.
Sound reasonable?
I don't mind some files being left "unowned", but if you're fairly
sure that the new ownership assignments reflected reality I'm not
opposed to having them changed in our patched system.
