There are a number of UNIX historians whose work pre-dates Stallman's GNU project. You may find Peter Salus' work particularly interesting. He still gives informative talks on UNIX history as well. Depending upon his schedule and yours you may be able to catch one of his talks. His written notes, where available, are typically useful. http://web.archive.org/web/20030715083528/technetcast.ddj.com/tnc_stream.html?stream_id=583 Rick -- http://www.rickbradley.com MUPRN: 838 | to try again this random email haiku | week.
