/New Jersey Bell Switich Control Center System (/NJ Bell SCCS). +This version of /Unix/ is the earliest known usage of the OS family outside of Bell Labs. +It was released in 1971 as a fork of 1st or 2nd edition of /Unix/ and was the first known /Unix/ to support interprocess communication and file locking. +Those advencements were not backported to mainline /Unix/ until /System V/[fn:cbwiki],[fn:hiddenunix]. +Soon after it evolved into Columbus Linux (/CB-Unix/), as the /SCCS Unix/ was developed by Bell Division 59473 in Columbus, Ohio. + +#+attr_shortcode: "cb-unix-manuals.jpg" "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CB_UNIX#/media/File:CB_Unix_Manuals.jpg" +#+begin_img-c +Programmers Manuals for CB Unix +#+end_img-c + +In a completely different part of Bell Labs another project was starting to use /Unix/. +/Mert/ (Multi-Environment Real-Time) was a fork for use in embedded minicomputers, like PDP-11s[fn:mertwiki]. +Yes, virtualization is not a new idea - it dates back to the 60s where is was developed by IBM. +And so in 1973 /Unix V4/ was ported to run as a supervisor. +It was the first time /Unix/ was run in a virtualized environment[fn:hiddenunix],[fn:mertwiki]. +Thus system evolved into /Unix/RT/ and then /DMERT/ + +Yet another version was /PWB/Unix/ which was designed to be used to create software for batch processingy. +This was how processing was done back then - you created your program, submitted it to a mainframe, but with the use of /Unix/ no longer one needed to provide a deck of cards to a operator. +As a result, /PWB/ provided an early version of Source Control System. +To make work easier, this was the first version to include a /shell/ - /pwb shell/. +Other tools we know and love today that originate in /PWB/ are awk, sed, grep, or make[fn:hiddenunix]. +Ergo, this was one of the OSes made for work, not for research. +This OS was released in 1977 but Evan Ivie and Rudd Canaday started working on it in 1973[fn:pbwiki]. + +In the same year, 1973, Bell funds a small group to support the use of /Unix/ across the lab - the /UNIX Support Group/ or /USG/ for short[fn:gnukiesusg]. +Their version of /Unix/ was called /Unix/TS/ and was based on /UNIX v4/. +It was later merged with /PWB/ and /32V/ to become /Unix/TS 3.0/ known also as /System III/. +After another merge, this time with CB-Unix and it became /Unix/TS 4.0/, which however was never released. +The next version after that, /Unix-TS 5.0/, became the /System V/.[fn:hiddenunix],[fn:gnukiesusg]. + +We're not done yet. +/UNIX/ has seen it's share of history and we're still in the 70s. +1975 saw the release of MUNUX, most likely as a fork of /UNIX V5/[fn:hiddenunix]. +It was a modification of monoprocessing system, UNIX, to multiprocessing utylizing two PDP 11/50[fn:munix]. +Yes, multi processor processing was reserched in the 70s. + +/UNIX V6/ saw the addition of BBN TCP/IP Stack in 1977. +This is worth mentioning, as before that Bell labs pretended that packets are to be ignored, as networking is to be done using circut switching. +AT&T was a /telephone/ company after all[fn:hiddenunix]. +/V6/ from 1975 introduced yet another feature -
