Michael Sokolov:
It feels so great knowing that my current modern OS (last release
2003-12-07 counts as current and modern to me) still has nearly all original V7
UNIX code almost completely untouched. It's what gives me the right to call it
UNIX.
=======
You mean you've restored the original version of cat that had only one option,
and the version of ls that had fewer than a dozen and didn't care how wide
the screen was; that filenames are only 14 characters long; that fsck has
been abolished in favour of icheck and ncheck and dcheck; and that file system
blocks have returned to their original V7 size of 512 bytes?
My hat's off to you if so.
On the other hand, I have to question either your stability or that of your
system if you have reinstated the original V7 code implementing mpx(2).
