Subject: A cameo by UNIX in BSTJ
Some months ago I faced a flight from Denmark to NZ and back again,
so I bought a Kobo eBook reader and reformatted the entire BSTJ to fit
the screen.
That gave me about 100k "pages" to read, plenty for my NZ-flights
and a large number of otherwise wasted moments since then. Highly
recommeded.
Recently I came over what I belive is the first mention of UNIX in BSTJ.
We all know about the v57i6, July-August 1978 "UNIX Time-Sharing System"
issue, but it transpires that UNIX made a cameo two years earlier
in an article about compression-schemes for TeleFax:
www3.alcatel-lucent.com/bstj/vol55-1976/articles/bstj55-10-1539.pdf
Enjoy,
Poul-Henning

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
