Remember the story that Ken Thompson had written a language called "Bon"
which was one of the forerunners of "B" which then led to "new B" and then to "C"?

I just found Ken Thompson's "Bon Users Manual" dated Feb 1, 1969, as told to M. D. McIlroy and R. Morris
in Jerry Saltzer's files online at MIT.
