Subject: [TUHS] UNIX or unix
Date: Sat, 9 Nov 2019 12:20:05 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2ce9495a-b877-91be-ff5b-5516b8269562@gmail.com> (raw)
I was reading the comments on Hackaday on UNIX at 50
(https://hackaday.com/2019/11/05/will-the-real-unix-please-stand-up/).
As expected, a lot of manure but some interesting comments from
seemingly knowledgeable people.
One comment
(https://hackaday.com/2019/11/05/will-the-real-unix-please-stand-up/#comment-6192977),
from a DDS, stated that (s)he worked at The Bell and they wrote it
"unix" (lower-case) to distinguish it from MULTICS. Anyone care to
comment on this?
