I was looking through the old archives at the old

the PDP emulator(s) with djgpp or a non-linux system.
Look on this page for the link that says "Windows executables"
http://simh.trailing-edge.com/
I can with my linux.
Dennis said this version of unix was compiled with assembly, then into C if
I'm not mistaken.
You are mistaken. It's the other way around. Traditional C compilers generate
assembly which is assembled into machine code object files which are linked
into an executable.
Now the PDPs they were the machines with no monitors
just
printer tty type output correct?
Depends on the PDP you are talking about. The term "Programmed Data Processor"
refers to a large number of different systems. Some are a small as PeeCees and
others filled entire rooms.
