https://www.beyond3d.com/content/articles/8/ for the history of it. The original author is still unclear, but that article digs back as far as Gary Tarolli at 3dfx/SGI (by way of Carmack, Abrash, and Terje Mathison)

Nitpick: Terje Mathisen [1].

The man is a legend. I remember using his little set of DOS utilities (things like stuffit.com [2]) back in the early 1990s, which I got from a friend whose dad was a colleague of his at Hydro. They were all written in assembly language, and were superb little extensions to DOS.

Heh, Terje's name is actually misspelled in the linked doc (I was like "I know I copy/pasted that")
