Lines: 19 In article 5675, Doug Gwyn writes: Don't believe everything you read, especially UNIX/WORLD. While he was typing these words, the November 1985 issue of UNIX/WORLD hit the newsstands, spreading this misinformation: ... the Berkeley implementation was extended to include a library of graphics primitives called plot. These primitives consisted of move, point, label, arc, circle, erase, etc. A set of filters allowed these primitives to be displayed upon [sic] a few graphics devices. --Clarkson and Skrinde, "Graphics Extensions" Anybody who has a Version 7 manual will find these library routines listed in section 3. Sooner or later, mountable filesystems, pipes, and the C language itself will be attributed to Berkeley! Bill Tuthill
