I don't have a 1st edition Unix, nor any later 1, but...
DOES THIS WORK ?
It looks like "1 bottles" and "0 bottle" to me,
although it will "break" before it ever uses "0 bottle" !
And does "auto a" start at 99 ?
/* Is 99 snatched from within the comment ?
It would probably be better if this program would not be
completed within one day.
I found it when there were only 997 variations of
99-bottles-of-beer. Somehow Oliver Shade suddenly counted
1000 without any new additions. There must be a lot of
beer involved here...
But not in B : When the one-thousand celebrations reach
a high there is no replenishing by "going to the store" !
Nonetheless, congratulations with 1000, I like this site !

P.S. For a clear description of full 99-logic see the
dedicated intermediate language in my DEBUG version of 99.
It could be implemented with any Turing-complete language
although mine is not.
