- In September 1980, Eric Allman modified tset, adding the code from the
- existing "reset" feature when tset was invoked as reset. Rather than
- simply copying the existing program, in this merged version, tset used
- the termcap database to do additional (re)initialization of the

Other developers (e.g., Keith Bostic and Jim Bloom) continued to modify
tset until 4.4BSD was released in 1993.
