Talk:Version 7 Unix

First commercial Unix?

 * "[Wollongong's V7 for the Interdata] was sold commercially under the name Edition VII by Interdata and Perkin-Elmer (now known as PerkinElmer) on most models of the 3200 series, the first commercial UNIX offering"

This contradicts Version 6 Unix, which claims that the first commercial Unix was INTERACTIVE's IS/1. Which one is it? Qwertyus (talk) 16:59, 28 December 2012 (UTC)


 * It was IS/1, as I remember. I'll see if Teh Google turns up any citations. Guy Harris (talk) 19:59, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Old-time Unix users?
'Old-time Unix users'? Anyone with a comp sci education appreciates it. Your arrogance was showing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a01:cb18:2ba:e300:6d52:5929:c5aa:c10c (talk) 21:54, 19 December 2018 (UTC (UTC)

New features
Some of the new features listed in this article were not part of v7, but included in PWB 2.0, which was v7-based. Cpio is one of them. Hskrivervik (talk) 06:29, 17 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Yes, I remember tar, but not cpio, being in V7. Guy Harris (talk) 06:53, 17 October 2016 (UTC)


 * And cpio was in the V6-based PWB 1.x, as I remember. Guy Harris (talk) 06:57, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
