Colin's right (or lucky :-). I have files here, from the CSRG CD-ROM
set:
/src/BSD-CSRG/4.2/usr/src/new/new/tools/man/jot.1
/src/BSD-CSRG/4.2/usr/src/new/new/tools/src/jot.c
/src/BSD-CSRG/4.2/usr/src/new/new/tools/man/rs.1
/src/BSD-CSRG/4.2/usr/src/new/new/tools/src/rs.c
/src/BSD-CSRG/4.2/usr/src/new/new/tools/man/lam.1
/src/BSD-CSRG/4.2/usr/src/new/new/tools/src/lam.c
jot(1) starts:
.TH JOT 1 "15 May 1983"
.UC 4
.SH NAME

and ends

No HISTORY section.
rs(1):

lam(1):

I can't find earlier mentions. If anybody wants these files, I'd be
happy to send them.
