If ITS was the source, not sure how it spread - >> maybe via EMACS? I looked in my own TECO code (> 12K lines), and found "home directory" in two files with internal date headers from 1983. I scanned my archive of TOPS-20 emacs source code and found these uses: % grep -i 'home dire' * babyl.info:operating system; this file resides in the user's "home directory" and conv.info:stands for the user's home directory. If neither file exists, the emacs.info:Home Directory Your home directory is the one on which your mail and emacs.info: may be the same as your home directory's name. emacs.mss:@Index{Home Directory}@Index{User Name} emacs.mss:it should be called @ITS{; EVARS instead of EMACS.} emacs.mss:@Index{Home Directory} emacs.mss:EMACS into the file @ITS[;TS ESAVE]@Twenex[ESAVE.EXE]. Binary file mkdump.info matches teco.archiv:*) FS U HSNAMEnd FS U MAILllow you to get a user's home directory teco.archiv:* FS HSNAME$ is the user's home directory, as a numeric sixbit word. teco.archiv:On old versions of ITS that don't have home directories, it is the teco.archiv:same as FS MSNAME$. The home directory is (presumably) where such things teco.archiv: B) People whose home directory is a shared directory tecord.info: If you @EJ a file TS FOO on your home directory, then FOO^K tecord.info:FS HSNAME s the user's home directory.

However, when I dug into teco.archiv, I found that the match occurred in a change log block that begins TECO 699: RMS 10/14/77 Many changes ... ITS only: Thus, 14-Oct-1977 is the earliest date that I can find for "home directory", credited to Richard Stallman. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Nelson H.
