Yes, I recall a release on the French national holiday, with specific
reference to that event, but there were earlier versions of 386BSD out
there.  I have a message relayed from Bill Jolitz by David Harris on
19 March 1992, containing:

  I have made 386BSD Release 0.0 available with public access sources.

This appears to be the same as the message at
