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!
