It would be nice to have the idealism to think of Sun as a freewheeling, uncensored alternative to the corporate structure of DEC and IBM, but having seen the "released" source for the early '90s Unix operating systems of all three I never saw anything to indicate that there were censored inline curses anywhere. If anything, the DEC sources are now more informational by virtue of still having a mostly complete changelog in the header. -Henry On 13 September 2017 at 19:55, Dave Horsfall wrote: > On Wed, 13 Sep 2017, Larry McVoy wrote: > > Yeah but not the SCCS history.
