In the January 1991 UnixWorld, starting from Page 45, the article "Who is the
Real Dennis Ritchie?" has a very clear picture of Dr. Ritchie.  Hmm... Let me
check against your criteria above ...

1, "have long hair"  Nope!  Dr. Ritchie's hair is very trimed, more like a 
    an Army general's... Next,
2. "beards", Yep, he does have some.  Not long however, just "man's beard"
3. "wearing sandals"  Grrr... this picture doesn't show his feet, can't tell.

Worse, he was wearing a shirt!

CONCLUSION: 

A Korn shell script Dantest is created...

#! /bin/ksh
#
# the following Korn shell script attempts to determine whether Dr. Ritchie
# of AT&T, the creator of the C programming language and co-creator of the 
# UNIX time sharing operating system is a real UNIX/C programmer or not per
# Mr. Stefanik's world famous triple critria
#
# No copyright is claimed. Henceforth this very script is in public domain,
# Have at it.
#

if [ -n "Dr. Ritchie does not have long hair" ]; then
	
	"Dr. Ritchie" != "real UNIX/C programmer"
fi


For some unknown reasons, Dantest never runs!  Something must be wrong here!
Any pointers?

Thanks in advance for any help.
