As quoted from <153@hobbes.UUCP> by root@hobbes.UUCP (John Plocher): +--------------- | Most versions of Unix (ALL before SV) _came_ with a C compiler!!! No extra +--------------- Xenix was available in runtime versions (no C compiler) before System V came out. One of my earliest clients had an Altos 586, with two possible operating systems: MP/M and Xenix. The Xenix turned out to be runtime-only; and rather badly selected for runtime-ness as well. I advised him to use the MP/M and forget Xenix. -- Brandon S.
