[TUHS] Fwd: [multicians] History of C (with Multics reference)

FYI, interesting. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Tom Van Vleck &lt;thvv(a)multicians.org&gt; Date: Sun, Feb 14, 2021, 12:35 PM Subject: Re: [multicians] History of C (with Multics reference) To: &lt;multicians(a)groups.io&gt; Remember the story that Ken Thompson had written a language called "Bon" which was one of the forerunners of "B" which then led to "new B" and then to "C"? I just found Ken Thompson's "Bon Users Manual" dated Feb 1, 1969, as told to M. D. McIlroy and R. Morris in Jerry Saltzer's files online at MIT. http://people.csail.mit.edu/saltzer/Multics/MHP-Saltzer-060508/filedrawers/… _._,_._,_ ------------------------------ Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
