ci and co.<br>

One of the first things I was asked to do when I got there was<br>
to get Honey Danber working as a replacement. I don't remember<br>
why that was preferred; possibly just because Robert was a<br>
summer student, not a full-fledged member of the lab, and we<br>
didn't want something as important to us as uucp to rely on<br>
orphaned code.<br>

Honey Danber was in place by the time we made the V8 tape,<br>
toward the end of 1984.<br>
