Dan was definitely there and he might have done the first version, but I don't recall that. I do recall the story about MIT, and I sure that ITS was the inspiration. And I recall Eric noting the space bar was the "next page" key (as opposed to Return which other programs expected) because it's the biggest key on the keyboard. I can't take credit for pulling libtermcap (originally libtermlib) out of vi, Bill Joy had already done that before I took on vi and termcap. Mary Ann Quoting Clem cole : > Interesting.
