No, no, NO!  **SIGH**  Do we have to go over this again??  This is INCORRECT!!!
Every version of XENIX 3.x I have ever seen has a System III kernel, with
some BSD and Microsoft additions.  I have hacked XENIX kernels for years,
XENIX 2.3 (which WAS v7) and 3.0, so I know.

Just because they kept the v7 init and getty does NOT mean the kernel is v7.
