Lions' Commentary on UNIX 6th Edition, with Source Code

1974

The commentary also remarks on how the code might be improved. ==History== The source code and commentary were printed in book form in 1977, after first being assembled in May 1976, as a set of lecture notes for Lions's computer science courses (6.602B and 6.657G, mentioned in the introduction of the book) at the University of New South Wales. UNSW had actually obtained UNIX source code in 1975, in response to a 1974 query to Dennis Ritchie at Bell.

In 1996, the Santa Cruz Operation finally authorised the release of the twenty-year-old 6th Edition source code (along with the source code of other versions of "Ancient UNIX"), and the full code plus the 1977 version of the commentary was published by Peer-To-Peer Communications ().

UNIX itself, was one of these, having been a successful innovation financed at Bell in order to facilitate publishing of technical manuals in-house. When AT&T announced UNIX Version 7 at USENIX in June 1979, the academic/research license no longer automatically permitted classroom use. However, thousands of computer science students around the world spread photocopies.
