Rob and Bart L updated/replaced with something else for the bilt on plan 9 which was after me but the core was based on UCSD. Dan Cross might know more from plan 9 days and I can ask Presotto and Bart Sent from my PDP-7 Running UNIX V0 expect things to be almost but not quite. > On Oct 21, 2017, at 7:11 PM, Don Hopkins wrote: > > I have an old copy of CADroid for the Sun-3 from 1987 sitting around, which runs on SunView.
