Thanks.
I did find a newer-ish version and I always get a kick out of stuff like this:
free_dirlist(&ls, ALL_DIRS);
right before the call to exit ... an inappropriate response to an
inappropriate warning, I suppose
I once had an intern ask me "but if you don't free memory before the
program exits, then it can never get used again, right?" :-)
(and yes, I know, in the paleo era, that was in fact true)
I'll go try to find that archive ...

can someone point me at the earliest version of

I'm trying but failing to find it. My daughter says I suck at web
search, which, given where I work, is a bid sad :-)
Looks like 2.79 BSD. From the TUHS archives:
$ tar -tzvf 2.79bsd.tar.gz | grep /whereis
-rwxr-xr-x 0/0 4412 1979-04-21 06:34 bin.v6/ucb/whereis

-rw-r--r-- 0/0 3851 1979-04-19 07:04 upgrade/src/whereis.c
Hope this helps.
