I don't really know, but it was early enough (I think it may have been
before the great Torval/Tannembaum debate, even) to have been entirely
under Linus' development.
I seem to recall it involved a lack of public domain shells at the time.
In passing, I got to use the rather extraordinary command history
facility that was released with rc for unix and I must confess it
seemed adequate. I may have more trouble today, of course.
I wonder if there isn't merit in recording one's commands in some
creative fashion (why have thirteen consecutive copies of "ls -l"
in the history file?) and handing them to PLUMB is some useful
manner? Thoughts?
