An Oral History of Unix

This is a mirror of the late Mike Mahoney's project to create an oral history of Unix by interview the main players in its development. The original documents are on Mike's web site at Princeton.

Someone donated a 19M audio recording which summarises the project. The audio quality is not that great. A transcript of the recording is available on Mahoney's web site and cached here also.

Alexander Gromnitsky has converted all of the interviews into an e-book which is also cached here.
