Thought I'd mention here that the OP was asking
about the original shell,
and that the Mashey and Bourne shells were much newer than that.
BTW: last Year there was a talk from Stephen Bourne af BSDcon where he
explained how the Bourne Shell started. It seems that Mashey, Bourne and csh
all started with the Thompson Shell code.
...and from a todays view, the time between 1970 anf 1976 is a short time
compared to the fact that the Bourne Shell now exists since 40 years.
