Re: [TUHS] Fwd: A cameo by UNIX in BSTJ

All, I got this interesting e-mail from Poul-Henning a few days ago. Warren ----- Forwarded message from Poul-Henning Kamp <phk(a)phk.freebsd.dk> ----- Date: Sat, 20 Jul 2013 13:27:27 +0000 From: Poul-Henning Kamp <phk(a)phk.freebsd.dk> To: wkt(a)tuhs.org Subject: A cameo by UNIX in BSTJ Some months ago I faced a flight from Denmark to NZ and back again, so I bought a Kobo eBook reader and reformatted the entire BSTJ to fit the screen. That gave me about 100k "pages" to read, plenty for my NZ-flights and a large number of otherwise wasted moments since then. Highly recommeded. Recently I came over what I belive is the first mention of UNIX in BSTJ. We all know about the v57i6, July-August 1978 "UNIX Time-Sharing System" issue, but it transpires that UNIX made a cameo two years earlier in an article about compression-schemes for TeleFax: www3.alcatel-lucent.com/bstj/vol55-1976/articles/bstj55-10-1539.pdf Enjoy, Poul-Henning -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk(a)FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. ----- End forwarded message ----- _______________________________________________ TUHS mailing list TUHS(a)minnie.tuhs.org https://minnie.tuhs.org/mailman/listinfo/tuhs
