The original UNIX was Ritchie and Thompson (and some > others)... K&R C is generally accepted as the C described in the K&R book "The C Programming Language" (the first edition, printed in 1978), which was referenced in a section you snipped. This was NOT the first version of C, not by a long shot, and certainly not the C that the first several versions of Unix were written in. > One would think Ritchie, at least, might have had some insights into > the potential access problems Even if there was a time-gap between > the two roles.

And B was spawned from BCPL If you want to get picky, before B there was NB (New B), but its life was extremely short. --Larry
