get a grip.  you have forgotten the history.

i hacked ctrl-s/q flow control into the 6th ed on a an '11/34 with a
spare RK05 pack, while unix not much has _really_ changed since 7th
ed, except for the bloat.

linsux: how many ptrace or /proc style interfaces has it got?

where did /proc come from?  8th ed, ~1984.

how many 8th ed licences where issued and where?

'we' had an 8th ed port up in a few weeks in 1985, working at
night 'cos during the day the basser staff/students/us
had to do get some work done during the day.
