The original message referred to Unix System 7 which I don't think exists so I assumed the reference was to Unix Version 7. Xenix was Unix V7 and it ran on all kinds of stiff including the 68000 in the TRS-80 Model 16 which Radio Shack licensed from Microsoft who licensed it from Bell. I found this thread peculiar from the beginning since Unix V7 was commonly available on the 8086, the 68000, etc. under the Xenix label. -- Richard Loken VE6BSV, Unix System Administrator : "Anybody can be a father Athabasca University : but you have to earn Athabasca, Alberta Canada : the title of 'daddy'" ** richar...@admin.athabascau.ca ** : - Lynn Johnston
