From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: doug@cs.dartmouth.edu (Doug McIlroy) Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2017 13:03:24 -0400 Subject: [TUHS] Bourne shell and comments Message-ID: <201704211703.v3LH3OmI019751@coolidge.cs.Dartmouth.EDU> "Shebang". Nice coinage (which I somehow hadn't heard before). Very much in tune with Bell Labs, where Vic Vyssotsky had instilled "sharp" as the name of # -- not "number", not "pound", and definitely not "hash" -- so shell scripts began with sharp-bang. Doug
