Version 7
<operating system> (V7) The unsupported release of Unix ancestral to all
current commercial versions. Brian Kernighan announced the release of V7 in
summer 1979, at the Unix User's Group meeting in Toronto.
Before the release of the POSIX/SVID standards, V7's features were often treated
as a Unix portability baseline. Some old-timers impatient with commercialisation
and kernel bloat still maintain that V7 was the Last True Unix.
