What has become of the various research unix releases

7th edition? Have any of these ever been released publically?
Are any of them being archived for historical reasons? Are any
of the versions publically available now?
I'm sure that Norman Wilson will answer with a more definitive
answer, but... 2 reasons: there wasn't the concept of a "release"
with 8th, 9th or 10th Edition, they were purely internal
always-in-development systems. The other reason is that, as time
went on, more code from non-AT&T places was incorporated. It will
be difficult to get the clearance from all the copyright holders
to let a snapshot of any of these systems out.
