Prior to 1976 UNIX development at ATT was done by a small group of researchers. But as word of the usefulness of UNIX spread throughout the system the decision was made to develop a version of UNIX tailored to support programmers doing production work, not research. The Programmer's Workbench was intended to provide tools for teams of programmers to manage their source code, and collaborate on projects with othee team members. While they managed their source on UNIX systems their programs were often written to run on other legacy operating systems.
Programmer's Workbench UNIX preceded Version 7 UNIX. John Mashey wrote the Programmer's Workbench shell , which preceded Steve Bourne's Bourne shell.
