schestowitz | > That's great! I enjoyed the video with Ritchie and Thompson. Kernighan and Aho (the A and the W from 'awk', Kernighan is also the 'K' in 'K&R c' I believe) are there. He's the one doing the spell checking. | Sep 17 23:51 |

I'm not AT ALL expert in this, but I looked at a lot of PDP stuff recently.
