 [Stephen M. Robinson very gently pointed out that the 11/70 doesn't have
virtual memory.]

  hmmmmm, well then I guess this makes me look pretty foolish.  Guess I
should brush up on computer history.  I've never seen a Unix system without
virtual memory.  And how could you do all of this in 64k??  I would be
interested in how it was to use such a system.  Has Unix grown that much??
I couldn't concieve of using a BSD 4.3 style system in 64K of ram.  Any
comments from people who's used such systems would be appreciated, apparently
I've grown up in a totally different enviroment, and harbor some incorrect
views about what a "basic" unix system is. :-)

  Amazed that we've come so far.... and sorry for any confusion my previous
posting might have caused.
