I remember when the documentation was easy to read, but now...
I'm trying to find a regex i.e. as used by GREP to find all words in
"badugly" with each letter used only once and all are 7-letter words i.e.
they are all anagrams; perhaps it's my age (I hit 70 soon, after decades
in Unix) but I cannot seem to find a way to restrict the count i.e. each
letter used only once, but in any order.
I'll guess that it involves some obscure use of "{}*\" etc, which I've
never really grokked...
Ta muchly.

All, if you got a strange 'hello' message on the COFF mailing list,
my apologies. I have mailman3 set up on the new "minnie" machine,
and I am going to also set up a mailman2 instance.
The idea is that mailman3 will do the normal list processing and have
its own archive using the Hyperkitty software. But mailman2 will be
subscribed to the list, so mail can be also archived using the old
pipermail software. That way, I can import the existing TUHS and COFF
mailing list archives and augment them, rather than lose them entirely.
I thought I'd deleted all the COFF subscribers on the new "minnie"
system, but I can see in the logs that some test e-mail might have
escaped.
Cheers, Warren

There may have been some other early ones; see e.g. IEN-3 Jon Postel "Meeting
Notes 15 August 1977". I was thinking of the TCP's which showed up for the
first TCP Bakeoff, on 27 January, 1979.

1982? That's almost up to Linux time, in early internet time! :-) It's like
'dog years'; a year back then was an aeon! OK, to start with, a few
'definitions':
TCP 2 - the earliest version that was really implemented much; no separate IP
layer
TCP 2.5 - basically the same as TCP 2 (packet formats, algorithms), but with
things re-labelled into 'TCP' and 'IP'
TCP 3 - variable length addresses (later discarded, sadly)
(The archaeology in the IENs is a little complicated, because meeting notes
aren't in temporal order, IEN-number-wise. E.g. the notes for the meeting on
2-4 August 1978 (the first one I went to, BTW) are IEN-53, which came out on
21-Aug-78; but the notes for the 14-15 July 1977 meeting are IEN-65, which came out
on 5-Aug-78.)
Anyway, about the first details about the TENEX TCP implementation (done by
Bill Pluumer, whom we have now sadly lost) I could find are in IEN-67
("Meeting Notes - 30 & 31 January 1978"):
https://www.rfc-editor.org/ien/ien67.pdf
where he reports that an implementation of TCP-2 (in the OS, not in a user
process, as an early version was). In IEN-53 ("Meeting Notes - 2,3&4 August
1978"):
https://www.rfc-editor.org/ien/ien53.pdf
Action Items 6 and 7 refer to 6) the installation of presumably somewhat
working TCP 2.5's at SRI, BBN and SRI, and 7) the installation of test
version of TCP 4 at BBN.
Finally, IEN-57:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/ien/ien57.pdf
by Bill Plummer, "Provisional TCP Development Plan" (for TENEX/TOPS-20 TCP)
gives sime interesting details.

Any idea when the TENEX implementation was made?
These files seem to be from 1982:
