3. The names corresponding to the following Berkeley
ids
claudio
The login "dlw" included DLW as part of SCCS commit messages. The
claudio entry also says "DLW". So probably David L. Wasley.
csvaf
Alastair Fyfe
denise
Denise Draper
ecc
Eric C. Cooper (login name also is "cooper" later)
epg
evan
fitz
Dan Fitzpatrick
fortran
I don't see this one.
harrison
Mike Harrison or Susan Graham Harrison (except I don't know timing for
that name).
lam
Karen Lam of BBN
opcode
Mark Opperman
orange
Carol Orange
rt
I also don't find "rt"
1BSD
pcs 1800 1800
One of the files says "Wirth" and note that other files have spellings
like "funktion", "prozedure", "konstant". So maybe all this
is from
Wirth?
portlib 1701 1781
I think this portlib is from Eric Allman.
opcodes 1580 1580
I guess Thompson, Haley or Joy.
3BSD
I assume you are refering to parts not from 32V...
usr/src/sys/sys 8163 16488
I guess Babaoglu, maybe Juan Porcar, and Joy. Note that the TODO
mentions code given to Joy.
usr/src/cmd/f77 5981 17252
I think some of the improvements came from the upstream (November 1978
1.16 vs. January 1980's 2.00).
usr/src/new/libI77uc 4379 5395
Files say originally P. Weinberger and modified by David Wasley.
usr/src/cmd/versatec 3885 4271
sidebyside was written by Joy (per Len Edmondson personal
correspondence).
usr/games/advfiles/cave 1772 1772
It was common that some source for games weren't included.
Says originally developed by Willie Crowther and most features added by
Don Woods (don @ su-ai). And the file says to ask "ark" for questions. I
think was in a group called MHTSA (but I don't kno what means).
usr/src/cmd/uucp 1358 7387
Maybe Dave Nowitz?
usr/src/sys/stand 1350 3382
Some of this is just from 32V. I can only guess the changes were from
Joy.
usr/src/games/banner.c 1129 1129
Mark Horton (see corresponding man page!)
(As a reminder to list readers ... I am authoring a very detailed book
covering the history of Berkeley Unix. I have done interviews either by
email, phone, and some in person with over 80 of the very
early contributors.)
