Aucbvax.2410 fa.unix-wizards utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!RAM@MIT-MC Wed Jul 22 19:03:05 1981 Are there still any V6 C compilers? From: Robert A Morris <RAM@MIT-MC> The problem has not been just with C compilers when I have ported v7ish things to my v6 11/34. II sometimes have to go and #ifdef a few system calls. The Berkeley retrofit library seems to take care of i/o and file system things like stat and stty. Usually I have to program around iocontrol or see if stty/gtty will do the same thing.

Itseems that (a) 11/40 class machines are getting cheaper and (b) v7 on these machines is just beginning to make its way into the world. Perhaps in a year the problem will be gone, but it isn't now. --bob
