Talk:PWB/UNIX

Some personal recollections

From Guy Harris from here (Jan 11, 1984):

UNIX/TS was USG UNIX and PWD UNIX combined.

And was derived from a version of UNIX that was mostly Research V7, although it was, I believe, slightly earlier than the released V7 (it had a V6-ish) terminal driver, for instance) - the original USG UNIX and PWB/UNIX were derived from V6 or from V6es later than the released V6 - a set of "50 changes" that would turn V6 into what was running at Research at the time when the changes were sent out was done by Ken Thompson, and there was a Phototypesetter, Version 7" distribution that contained the "modern" nroff/troff/eqn/tbl, the "modern" C compiler with "long", "typedef", etc., the "modern" linker and archiver, and the Standard I/O library. Most of the "50 changes" and "Phototypesetter, Version 7" stuff was in PWB/UNIX 1.0.
