Clarification. “From whence it came” meant where SunOS-4.0 got STREAMS not from where
streams came from.

You might have the year wrong. The agreement between AT&T and Sun was announced in
1988. A year would be about right to incorporate some of the new stuff.
But getting back to your original comment that you are not aware of any streams
implementation before SunOS-4.0, do you mean that it was the first you became aware of?
Certainly System V, from whence it came, predated SunOS-4.0 and 8th Edition predated that.
My copy of the tty_ld(4) man page was printed Feb 10, 1985.

duplicating what Dennis et al has done in the Labs.
IIRC, I had a copy of SunOS-4.0 sometime in autumn 1987. It (and the Sun AT&T
deal based on the code) definitely was the top topic in the Sun User Group
meeting in December 1987.
