Hi all, I've just received a set of MP3 recordings from Bob Kridle. He says:

    These are recordings of Ken Thompson doing a read through of one of
    an early UNIX kernel code listing with a group of grad students at
    UC Berkeley while he was a visiting prof. there.

The date is roughly 1975. I've put the recordings here along with his
e-mails about the recordings:

I've only just listened to the first few minutes of each. The quality
is fine, but I might spend some time reducing the noise, bringing up
the quiet parts and removing a few clicks and pops.

If anybody else has more details of these recording, please let us know!

Cheers, Warren
