My quotation was =66rom Wikipedia, which I believe to be correct I was working in the USA in those days, and I saw the magazine in a bookshop in Austin TX. I stopped working there in December 1991. Unfortunately I wasn't very interested at the time ("who cares about BSD?"). Check the references in the Wikipedia article. Unfortunately the Dr. Dobbs site can't find them. May 1992 was significantly after the first release of 386BSD in March 1992. Greg -- Sent from my desktop computer. Finger grog@lemis.com for PGP public key.
