Ok. I know there was never a v6.5... officially. But
there are several
references to that in different bits of the early user group news
letters. This refers to v6 plus all the patches that "leaked" out of
bell Labs via udel and Lou Katz.
I was once referred to as "Mr Unix V6.5" when I shoehorned as much of V7
into V6 (with AUSAM mods) as I could, such as XON/XOFF etc. Those lucky
buggers at Elec Eng and AGSM had 11/70s, whereas I had to support a number
of 11/40s etc.
My question is, have they survived? The story sure
has, but I didn't find
them in the archive..
Sadly, not my version (UNSW/CSU).
