We (the Unisig) had a birthday party, with Dennis Ritchie in attendance,
at the Decus symposium in Anaheim, December 1984.  Door prizes included
sets of ancient manuals and a genuine Unix bug (potted in a plastic box).

More people should know about and participate in the UNISIG.  It offers
an opportunity to influence the Digital view of Unix, and something else
to do at Decus meetings.
