I agree, but ...  Codata got their UNIX from UniSoft.  Codata has been
bought by another company and has been turned to other projects, and
...  the Codata *sniff* will be a V7 machine until the end of time.  At
least one other company's machine (I don't remember which) is still
running UniSoft V7, believe it or not.  These systems, with their
ancient bugs and design flaws, live on.
