Since when are LISP and rogue provided with System V?

I really couldn't say how the System V port performs, but if you look at the
August '84 issue of BYTE, there is an article on "Benchmarking UNIX Systems".
The Lisa (running System III) is one of the machines that they test, and it
appears to be the slowest of all the systems.  The main problem appears to
be the speed of the winchester.  Does anyone else make a winchester for the
LISA?
