Comment on Bell Labs 'Unix' Tape from 1974 Successfully Dumped to a Tarball

I downloaded the tarball and had a look through it. Almost everything has source code included, which is pretty cool to see.
There’s an entire C compiler from 1972, bootstrapped to be written in C. There was also a SNOBOL III compiler written in C, and some Fortran stuff.
Unsurprisingly grep was written in assembly, but it’s source is there.
There’s also a games folder, but unfortunately these look like they’re just binaries: bj, chess, cubic, moo, ttt, wump I’ll have to load up a pdp11 emulator later to see what they are.

Wow. SNOBOL was one of the coolest, Stange languages.
