Yes, he did. I'm impressed.

(Since several people asked for it, I've added the RIACS distribution bundle
to Pyramid's source archive, in /src/ucs/io, retrievable by the usual methods.
It's also on uunet as ~/networking/Dynix.sl.tar.Z. Note that this version only
claims to have been tested on Dynix 3.0.4, not 3.0.12. I also found the SunOS
4.0 Streams SLIP, written by Rayan Zachariassen at University of Toronto, much
thanks to Vernon Schryver at Silicon Graphics. I also have added that to the
archive.)
