V1

The first edition of Unix was developed for the PDP-11/20 at Bell Labs by Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie and others. It provided a process-oriented multitasking environment with a hierachical filesystem for about two or three users.

The code here is only the source to the First Edition Unix kernel, which came from a document entitled Preliminary Release of Unix Implementation. Al Kossow from the Computer History Museum unearthed a paper copy of the document, scanned it in and donated it.

The manual pages come from the paper manuals which were OCR'd by Dennis Ritchie.
