Certainly 4.2 was were most people found them and the UNIX community at large saw them and I do not wAnt to disparage my siblings at Berkeley for the fine work done there.
But particularly since Dennis has passed I hate seeing history get forgotten/rewritten. I can tell you I personally I remember talking to Dennis and Steve Bourne about the idea of late binding for nami pre-BSD 3x UNIX days - late 1979 is my guess might have been a little later. Dennis would have been messing with them in a post V7 systems. I would have been at Tek @ the time. Joy probable would have seen them as a summer intern at the labs and talked to him about it then.
You are right the BSD 4.2 made the world know about them but like a number of things in BSD (such as networking) it was in some cases a (better) integration of ideas others had played with before.
Sent from my PDP-7 Running UNIX V0 expect things to be almost but not quite.
