Subject: [TUHS] Login names of early Unix contributors
Date: Wed, 03 Apr 2013 22:24:28 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <201304040224.r342OSrB024942@stowe.cs.dartmouth.edu> (raw)
About two queries on the topic.
Yes, L. L. Cherry is Lorinda Lillian Cherry.
Rudd Canaday was in on building the foundation, but not the
ground floor. When the Thompson/Ritchie/Canaday (and independently
Strachey/Stoy) file system came to be built, Rudd had completed
his visiting assignment in Computing Science Research. When he
did get a login, he was rhc, but his UID was not among the
single-digit set.
