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 1692 1981-01-13 17:37 man/whereis.u

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