- A separate <STRONG>tset</STRONG> command was provided in 2BSD by Eric Allman. While the
- oldest published source (from 1979) provides both <STRONG>tset</STRONG> and <STRONG>reset</STRONG>,
- Allman's comments in the 2BSD source code indicate that he began work
- in October 1977, continuing development over the next few years.
-
- In September 1980, Eric Allman modified <STRONG>tset</STRONG>, adding the code from the
- existing "reset" feature when <STRONG>tset</STRONG> was invoked as <STRONG>reset</STRONG>. Rather than
- simply copying the existing program, in this merged version, <STRONG>tset</STRONG> used
- the termcap database to do additional (re)initialization of the
- terminal. This version appeared in 4.1cBSD, late in 1982.
+ According to comments in the source code, the <STRONG>tset</STRONG> program was modified
+ in September 1980, to use logic copied from the 3BSD "reset" when it
+ was invoked as <STRONG>reset</STRONG>. This version appeared in 4.1cBSD, late in 1982.
