The original 1978 version that shipped with V7 and 32/V (BSD 4.1 > and 4.2) 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.
