From "Casting the Net":
In 1976, Mike Lesk at Bell Labs came up with a program called UUCP—“UNIX
to UNIX
copy.” UUCP enabled users to send mail, transfer files, and execute
remote commands. Lesk
first called it a “scheme for better distribution” (Mini-Systems
Newsletter, January 1977); but
only a month later it was referred to as UUCP. First designed to operate
over 300 baud lines,
UUCP was finally published in February 1978.
UUCP was taken up widely and this led to a need for improvements. The
next version was
written by Lesk and Dave Nowitz, with contributions by Greg Chesson, and
appeared in
Seventh Edition UNIX in October 1978.
