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
  jot \- print sequential or random data

and ends

  .SH AUTHOR
  John Kunze

No HISTORY section.

rs(1):

  .TH RS 1 "14 June 1983"
  .UC 4
  .SH NAME
  rs \- reshape a data array
  ...
  .SH AUTHOR
  John Kunze

lam(1):

  .TH LAM 1 "14 June 1983"
  .UC 4
  .SH NAME
  lam \- laminate files
  ...
  .SH AUTHOR
  John Kunze

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

Greg
