cLIeNUX Comments
dmr is Dennis "The C Programming Language" Ritchie. ken is Ken Thompson, primary author of the UNIX kernel and ed. "UNIX" was a trademark of AT&T in 1971 and has since been passed around quite a bit. The copyrights on the original of this "manpage" are currently held by Lucent. dmr said I could use "a few". I consider that sufficient release. cLIeNUX includes the 1971 manpages for cat, ed, ld, mount and sh.
