I asked Dennis Ritchie this question a few times. He did say that he had
fragmentary printouts of some source code. Then in 2009 he wrote:
In other news, I have found the book that has the listings
that I knew I had, that of (some) of the user-level commands.
I wonder what's the best way to get it scanned?
That's as far as we got. Now that he has passed on, I imagine that the
task of obtaining the book is nigh on impossible. I suppose that raises
the question, did Dennis' computing effects get "saved" in any way?
Cheers, Warren
P.S. I must do the Google code to github migration, thanks Clem.
