/proc came from research
Indeed it did.
/proc was done by Roger at AT&T (maybe USL). I
recall him telling me that
he was not the original author though and that it came from PWB.
Roger Faulkner's /proc article, recently cited in tuhs, begins with
acknowledgment to Tom Killian, who originated /proc in research.
(That was Tom's spectacular debut when he switched from high-energy
physics, at Argonne IIRC, to CS at Bell Labs.)
