Hi folks,
I'm finding it difficult to find any direct sources on the question in
the subject line.
Does anyone here have any source material they can point me to
documenting the existence of a port of BSD curses to Unix Version 7?
"In particular, the C shell, curses, termcap, vi and job control were
ported back to Version 7 (and later System III) so that it was not
unusual to find these features on otherwise pure Bell releases."
from Documentation/Books/Life_with_Unix_v2.pdf
in some v7ish distributions: unisoft, xenix, nu machine, venix?
