Lines: 13 It is not true that PWB UNIX required an 11/70 and floating point. It didn't even require split-I/D so you could run it on 11/34's and such provided they had memory management. What I believe you are referring to as 6.5 is the phototypesetter C compiler. When you bought troff, you got a fixed up, pre-version 7 compiler that had things like the equals-op operators the right way around. There was also a kernel diff listing circulating around referred to as "fifty fixes." There was actually a PWB II release which had a V7 kernel as a base, if I recall. -Ron
