Here is what Dave Ungar says he did on the project (among other
things): http://www.linkedin.com/in/davidungar

His thesis is online at  ftp://sunsite.berkeley.edu/pub/techreps/CSD-86-287.html

It also got turned into a book:

Here is some criticism of his results:

I like his thesis very much, but there is certainly room to argue with
the conclusions, if for nothing else than that the world has changed
in the last 20 years.
