Subject: [TUHS] Claim your early Unix contributions on GitHub
Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2016 08:25:38 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAOkr1zUow1CNrP_ZRMD1FxoAD2+kZkspEX3iLz-ZHGBeQBQTsQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

What do you mean by "early"? All of my early work was done under my login
"marc", and in those days to email we just typed:
% mail marc
Email was internal to the system. Email between machines came along later.
Also, I don't think we ever used the word "commit." Actually, much of my
early work predated the introduction of SCCS. ;-)
