+ A reset command appeared in 2BSD (April 1979), written by
+ Kurt Shoens. This program set the erase and kill charac-
+ ters to ^H (backspace) and @ respectively. Mark Horton
+ improved that in 3BSD (October 1979), adding intr, quit,
+ start/stop and eof characters as well as changing the pro-
+ gram to avoid modifying any user settings.
+
+ Later in 4.1BSD (December 1980), Mark Horton added a call
+ to the tset program using the -I and -Q options, i.e.,
+ using that to improve the terminal modes. With those
+ options, that version of reset did not use the termcap
+ database.
A separate tset command was provided in 2BSD by Eric All-
man. While the oldest published source (from 1979) pro-
- vides both programs, Allman's comments in the 2BSD source
- code indicate that he began work in October 1977, continu-
- ing development over the next few years.

+ In September 1980, Eric Allman modified tset, adding the

+ program, in this merged version, tset used the termcap

+ nal. This version appeared in 4.1cBSD, late in 1982.
