'bcd' produces the same 'punch' code for both 'Q' and 'R'. The oldest copy of 'bcd' I can find has an sccs id from 1982 on it. I found it in the bsd4.2 sources, but it apparently was unmodified from the 32v source, which in turn would have come from v7. It does, in fact, have the same bug. For completeness, here is the fix: *** bcd.c- Wed Nov 10 20:13:19 1993 --- bcd.c Wed Nov 10 20:13:37 1993 *************** *** 53,59 **** 0402, 01002, 02002, ! 02002, 024, 044, 0104, --- 53,59 ---- 0402, 01002, 02002, ! 04002, 024, 044, 0104,
