Indeed. (Co)creator of both C and Unix. To put that in perspective: * C/C++ remains one of the most common, if not *the* most common, programming language * Most of Win NT is written in C or C++ * Java, JavaScript, PHP, Perl, C# and countless other languages are modeled on C/C++ * Unix introduced the idea of a "portable operating system" -- an OS not tied to one platform or manufacturer * Unix gave us command-line pipelines * Linux and the various BSDs are all clones of Unix * MacOS X and iOS (iPhone/iPad) both run a Unix clone under the covers (BSD derived) * Android devices also run a Unix clone under the covers (Linux derived) You would be hard pressed to find a computer today that isn't heavily influenced by dmr's work. -- Ben --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist
