Correct- that was the path as I know it. i.e. ITS gave Unix more and job control.

Which is my point. When some one starts pontificating about how SYS/BSD/Linux this that or the other thing - often the idea came elsewhere. Wide distribution and use was supplied by the XXX Channel but there were many many fathers and mothers
