My professor assigned a report on computer programming history.
I chose to do mine on C, due to the fact that I use it the most.
I am researching it and need some primary sources and maybe early code.
Any ideas where I might find this?

Those should be more than enough leads to get you going.

Here (http://monkey-hole.co.uk/esa/os/source/unix-nsys.7z) is a copy of the first version of UNIX to be written in C

nsys is a beta of the (lost?) UNIX Version 4,but all beside kernel and its source files has been lost.
V4 was the firs OS written in C.
