I received the scans of the 2dsh and the Parser memos. The Parser scan
is pretty poor quality, but legible. What's interesting is that Parser
makes reference to both the TOPS-20/TENEX EXEC as well as the Interlisp
history facility. The latter of which is where C-Shell got its
inspiration from as well.

I noticed the location listed for Marc Rochkind is WH, which suspect was
Whippany. But it lists "DR" for Blewett and Rader. What was the DR
location of Bell Labs?
