Perhaps you meant V7 on PDP 11's? I have a V7 system at this site (about to be retired) on a Perkin Elmer (now Concurrent) 3220. It runs stuff far bigger than 64k I&D. ls -s provides the following (blocksize == 1024): 158 rn 149 kermit 129 vi size gives (text+data+bss = image size (dec) = image size (hex)): rn: 111644+24032+30116 = 165792 = 287A0 vi: 125184+6856+14452 = 146492 = 23C3C kermit: 89856+38780+11132 = 139768 = 221F8 As an aside, I believe that the code running on this machine is VERY close to the original non-DEC port of UNIX by the wollongong group when it was still in wollongong and the licensing was done by western electric. There are many who will argue that V7 was the last REAL UNIX. There are also others who will argue that it was V6. alan. -- Alan Hargreaves (VK2MGL) alan@frey.newcastle.edu.au, Uni of Newcastle, UCS.
