Not for Unix, but.

Steven Johnson went on a sabbatical from Bell Labs to Waterloo
University and took B with him.  A group of people there formed a

The original AberMUD was written by Alan Cox (of Linux fame) et al in B.
A paper listing exists but has yet to be scanned.  I collected some
scraps here:
