Subject: [9fans] Don't know much about history
Date: Tue, 29 Jun 2004 22:20:58 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6e35c06204062922203ce30f5b@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I like to comb second-hand stores for overlooked geek books, and came
across Interactive Programming Environments, which includes a copy of
Kernighan and Mashey's UNIX Programming Environment paper from '81.
There's an interesting passage:
"UNIX has spawned a host of offshoots---at least six companies offer
or plan to offer systems derived from or compatible with the UNIX
system...."
With a footnote listing the companies:
"Cromemco, Onyx, Yourdon, Whitesmiths, Amdahl, and Wollongong Group."
Does anyone know what became of these companies and the products they
did (or didn't) produce?
-Jack
