I don't trust my dates for that tape BTW.   I'm pretty sure we got it in early 79, so I clearly rewrote it at some point if the dates show later -- although it might be a copy from Tektronix - which would match that date.  Again my memory is that 1BSD and 2BSD are all a little different.  They were written as needed and sent out, although I think they wrote them a few at a time.  But my tape from CMU is likely to be different from one that says went to Harvard which was different from what went to Purdue or MIT. 

As for when whereis got put into SCCS control, I'm not sure.  Take a peak at Kirk's archives.

It was written for the Cory 11/70 IIRC.  It's on my 2BSD tape with a date of 2/17/80 - which should be on Warren's archives.   If you can't find it send me email off list and I'll send it to you.

can someone point me at the earliest version of whereis? I first saw
it in 4.1, but maybe it came sooner. Also, if you've got a link to man
pages, thanks in advance.

I'm trying but failing to find it. My daughter says I suck at web
search, which, given where I work, is a bid sad :-)
