Agreed, the typesetter C ran on a virgin V6 system. That was the whole
point. It came out before most of us got real V7s.

From:
I was able to rebuild both the UNSW and the
native PWB compiler on PWB
1.0, but not to backport either to vanilla v6.
Any idea what the problem was? I'm curious, because we ran a version of the
Typesetter compiler on the MIT systems, which ran an enhanced V6.
