The Daemon, the Gnu and the Penguin, Ch. 4 & 5 - by Peter H. Salus (Groklaw)
Here's the next
installment of Peter H. Salus's history, The Daemon, the Gnu and
the Penguin. "Interestingly, Bill Joy created vi in 1976 and
Richard Stallman (together with Guy Steele and Dave Moon) created Emacs the
same year. The original version was based on TECMAC and TMACS, two TECO
editors. Stallman and Michael McMahon ported it to the Tenex [for the
DEC-10] and TOPS-20 [for the DEC-20] operating systems. [James Gosling, the
creator of Oak/Java, wrote the first Emacs for UNIX at Carnegie-Mellon in
1981. RMS began work on GNU EMACS in 1984.]"

"Hacker" usage Posted Apr 25, 2005 16:28 UTC (Mon) by phd (subscriber, #952) [Link] Not "traditional", but "canonical"! (-:
