Thank you for asking that, you've made my day. I'm using the last true UNIX ever released: V7. Not a Berklix mislabeled "UNIX Version 7", mind you, but a real, honest Bell V7. Since nobody has yet found the cash to buy us something better, utzoo is an 11/44. I'm quite aware that this has its bad points -- 16-bit address spaces are no fun any more -- but it does mean that I can run true UNIX. I don't know what I'd do if they suddenly gave us a VAX... maybe go wail on Research's doorstep until they slip me a V8 tape just to get rid of me... :-)))) -- "7 > 4.2" Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!henry
