   Not False. C is not a follow on of NB .   
      
   "Thus the transition from B to C was contemporaneous with the creation of a   
   compiler capable of producing programs fast and small enough to compete with   
   assembly language. I called the slightly-extended language NB, for `new B.'"   
      
   Even Ritchie says "transition from B to C", not from "NB to C".
