Henry Spencer in net.unix-wizards Dec 17, 1983

"The proper credits for vcat are roughly as follows:

Bill Reeves most of vcat, and the font editor
Tom Duff the inner loop of vcat, in pdp11 assembler
Rob Pike the (unreleased) precursor to vcat (called vd)
Mike Tilson miscellaneous optimizations

The distributed source for vcat had Reeves, Pike, Tilson in the heading, and Duff in the lone .s file. My thanks to Rob Pike for refreshing my
memory on this."
