I was thinking about this some more.

IIRC: Peter and I sketched out the protocol for the sockets version on a
whiteboard in our office one night after a beer and pizza run. Rick
Spicklemeir, Tom Quarles, and Jim Kleckner also participated in those bull
sessions.  I started writing the program soon after that and had it working
to a point in a couple of hours.  I don't remember the issues, but a couple
of them were when I left for the USENIX conference later that week.  When I
got back Peter had finished it and put it into RCS.    The key is that the
coding was primarily Peter and myself, but Rick, TQ, and Jim all had
contributed in some manner, too,

Although the famous bug of using a vax integer, you can squarely blame me —
and as I said, having worked on networking for several years before my time
at UCB, I should have known better.  But did not even think about it.  I
failed Henry's ten programming commandments and concluded that the world
was a Vax. Mei culpa.
