References for the UNIX History Graphing Project

Introduction

I will try to collect in this file all of the details of the references found in the other files in the UNIX History Graphing Project. At the moment, it's pretty chaotic.

Some of the references included below come from the Unix system family tree / BSD history chart created by Wolfram Schneider, and available at: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/share/misc/bsd-family-tree. Any content in this file which is taken from Wolfram's chart is Copyright ©Wolfram Schneider < wosch@FreeBSD.ORG > .
