An important anniversary passed unnoted (at least, I didn't see any note
taken of it) a few months ago. Ten-plus-epsilon years ago -- I don't
know the exact date offhand -- Unix was first officially released to the
world outside Bell.

We (the Unisig) had a birthday party, with Dennis Ritchie in attendance, at the Decus symposium in Anaheim, December 1984. Door prizes included sets of ancient manuals and a genuine Unix bug (potted in a plastic box). More people should know about and participate in the UNISIG. It offers an opportunity to influence the Digital view of Unix, and something else to do at Decus meetings.
