When I tried to find contemporary documentation I couldn't find any and Ken Thompson said that it went directly from 'Ken's New System" to Unix without 'unics' when I emailed him in 2020 before my history of unix talk at FOSDEM. At the time, I could just find third-hand stories about the "unics" story. There's no footnotes in the pdf and I can't open the ppt file, so I'm curious what you've found. Warner
