Robert Samuel Fabry, as a student at the University of Chicago worked on COMIT II and MADBUG, an interactive debugger for MAD both of which ran on CTSS.[1]
Later, while a computer science professor at the University of California, Berkeley, Fabry conceived the idea of obtaining DARPA funding for a radically improved version of AT&T Unix and founded the Computer Systems Research Group.[2][3][4]
In 1983, Bob turned over administrative control of the CSRG to professors Domenico Ferrari and Susan Graham.[5]
