From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: lm@bitmover.com (Larry McVoy) Date: Wed, 5 May 2010 20:02:47 -0700 Subject: [TUHS] wrong HISTORY in 4.4BSD manual pages? In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <20100506030247.GI23511@bitmover.com> 2.9BSD, as I recall, was the last release for PDP-11's. Again, as I recall, it did a pile of work to take advantage of the larger address space (I think there was 64KI and 64KD). I don't recall every seeing a 3BSD release.
