ITS was quite idiosyncratic, and I do not recall that Richie or Thompson
ever mentioned it as an influence on Unix. But you can judge for
yourself, if you want.

The ITS Reference manual is available at
"ftp://publications.ai.mit.edu/ai-publications/0-499/AIM-161A.ps"

The source code and system documentation for ITS has been released under
the GPL, and is at
"ftp://ftp.swiss.ai.mit.edu/pub/its".

Happy historical hunting!
