OK, it's a lot of years ago and the memory grows dim but IIRC C was used to rewrite the operating system that became Unix around '72 - '73 and had been developed for that reason. I _think_ the OS was already called UNIX (or maybe still UNICS) but it was certainly an assembler coded kernel with a couple of small apps like roff running on a PDP-11 until re-written in C with a small kernel of PDP assembler code at the hardware interface level. So C was really a PDP-ism since it was first written in assembler bootstraps fashion to run on that machine.
