Doug McIlroy scripsit:
PWB did not create make; Stu Feldman did it in
research.
Which is why, according to Google folklore, the desktop he
was set up with on the first day did not have a TAB key.
PWB did make SCCS. I believe it also originated cico,
find and eval.
The Mashey shell, obviously, and -mm. Wikipedia claims that
cpio, expr, xargs, yacc, and lex first appeared outside
the Bell Labs boundary in the PWB release, though at least
the last two were certainly not PWB-specific.
