Eric Shienbrood originally wrote more(1) at UCB when he came as a grad student. It was
based on functionality from ITS that he as used to having at MIT. Summit wrote a similar
program with the same called page(1) and I'm fairly sure it was few years after
Eric's program. Btw page(1) which did not have the same functionality (no termcap or
in there case terminfo yet). Less(1) would show up a few years later and replace them
both.

PWB ... came straight out of Bell. Not sure
about all the
applications (well, SCCS came from Bell).
PWB did not create make; Stu Feldman did it in research.
PWB did make SCCS. I believe it also originated cico,
find and eval. Probably more, too, but I can't reliably
separate PWB's other contributions from USG's.
