I don't have personal knowledge about this but the wikipedia page on berknet credits Eric Schmidt: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berknet and links to Eric Schmidt's master thesis on Berknet (postscript): http://web.mit.edu/daveg/Info/Links/doc/unix.manual.misc/berknet/berknet.PS Eric Schmidt and Mike Lesk also wrote "lex", the unix lexical analyzer program used primarily for compiler contruction, rewritten as 'flex' (fast lex) on more modern systems. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | b...@theworld.com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: +1 617-STD-WRLD | 800-THE-WRLD The World: Since 1989 | A Public Information Utility | *oo*
