I'm pretty sure we got it in early 79, so I clearly rewrote it at some point if the dates show later -- although it might be a copy from Tektronix - which would match that date.  Again my memory is that 1BSD and 2BSD are all a little different.  They were written as needed and sent out, although I think they wrote them a few at a time.  But my tape from CMU is likely to be different from one that says went to Harvard which was different from what went to Purdue or MIT.
