Bug 19401

A long ranging discussion in alt.folklore.computers from April to June
2000 (`Why is there no "yes" command in Solaris?`) led to the search
for the origin of the 'yes' command.

Quoting from the most relevant posting:

:Yet on any V7 distribution tape, you find:
:
:-rwxrwxr-x 3/3            2522 May  5 20:19 1979 bin/yes
:-rw-rw-r-- 3/3              84 Jan 11 07:02 1979 usr/src/cmd/yes.c
:
:And on any 32V distribution tape, you find:
:
:-rwxr-xr-x mhol/wheel     3228 Mar 25 16:56 1979 usr/bin/yes
:-rw-rw-rw- mhol/wheel       84 Nov  6 15:04 1978 usr/src/cmd/yes.c

:So 32V and V7 had yes at least a year before it was put in 4BSD.

Searching the source of older Unices in the SCO repository at:

<http://www.sco.com/offers/ancient001/>

confirmed that either 32V, a Version 7 port for the VAX, or Version 7
itself were the first Unices in which 'yes' appeared.

Some BSD attributions refer to the appearance of a feature in any Unix,
others refer to the specific appearance in BSD. The current attribution
for 'yes' refers to 4.0BSD, which in itself is correct.

Yet to end the dispute I request to change the attribution line.

Fix: 

change	
   The yes command appeared in 4.0BSD
	to
   The yes command appeared in 32V AT&T Unix
	or
   The yes command appeared in Version 7 AT&T Unix
