This is a site that maps the references on Gary Overacre's 1980s UNIX Magic
poster to short write-ups with sources. I posted an earlier version about a
year ago [1]. Since then I rewrote some of the annotations, added
deep-linking to individual markers and a frame/sidebar view, gave the site a
terminal-style redesign, and fixed historical inaccuracies (daemon etymology,
nroff origin, B language vs. Multics, etc.).
