I am not sure, but does it really matter?
How hard is it to compile the following:
int
main(void)
{
return 0;
}

OS-9 does not have a 'true' command as described in the article. mshell does have a 'TRUE' logical constant; the use of which avoids the overhead of forking another process.
let a = TRUE
if (%a == FALSE)
print("%s\n", "Something is very wrong here!")
endif
let a = TRUE
if (%a == FALSE)
print("%s\n", "Something is very wrong here!")
endif

I just wondered if AT&T copyright made sense in light of other early

Thank you for the information. I never used OS9 myself, I just

The blurb I posted is not and never was copyrighted by AT&T. I believe
their "true" was a shell script containing only "exit 0" but I would have
to research it a bit to make sure.
To be honest, like many computer patents and "trade secrets", I don't
think this makes much sense. Some things have limited ways of doing
them and those ways are intuitively obvious to practitioners of the
art. :-)
