    While cleaning a storage room, our staff found this tape containing #UNIX v4 from Bell Labs, circa 1973

    Apparently no other complete copies are known to exist: https://gunkies.org/wiki/UNIX_Fourth_Edition

    We have arranged to deliver it to the Computer History Museum

      If you ever get a chance to goto the CHM, do it. Super cool.

        Instructions unclear, goto considered harmful.

            That’s the most functional and elegant code I’ve ever seen.
