Who invented DOS?

[Terry Yager]

I suspect that it might be very well be a corruption of the story
about Randy Cook's easter egg in TRS-DOS, that showed up in NewDOS
prior to NEWDOS80. That one really DID exist.  RS, in TRS-DOS 2.3,
changed "Randy Cook" in the easter egg to "Tandy Corp".  It was
invoked by running a boot file as if it were a program, with one
of the master paswords, and pressing 'J'? and 'N'? while it was loading.

------------------------------
That's funny, because the first time I heard the story a few years back, it
was a lawsuit between AT&T and SCO over the rights to unix.  (Or was it
MicroSoft and Xenix...???)  Should this discussion be moved to the urban
legend mailing list?
