[TUHS] Knuth and Unix

[Dave Horsfall]

Time for a new thread :-)

As today is Knuth's birthday (posted over in COFF), I was wondering (in 
the cesspool that is my mind) how much of Unix would have been influenced 
by Knuth?  We have qsort() of course (which Hoare actually wrote, based on 
one of Knuth's algorithms), but I'm guessing that Ken and Dennis would 
have been familiar with his work?

Or am I spreading fake news again? :-)  Look, I love being corrected if I 
make a mistake on a technical mailing list, so fire at will if need be...
