hmmm, this needs some qualification. Perhaps you meant V7 on PDP 11's?
I have a V7 system at this site (about to be retired) on a Perkin Elmer
(now Concurrent) 3220. It runs stuff far bigger than 64k I&D.

ls -s provides the following (blocksize == 1024):

158 rn
149 kermit
129 vi

size gives (text+data+bss = image size (dec) = image size (hex)):

rn: 111644+24032+30116 = 165792 = 287A0
vi: 125184+6856+14452 = 146492 = 23C3C
kermit: 89856+38780+11132 = 139768 = 221F8

As an aside, I believe that the code running on this machine is VERY
close to the original non-DEC port of UNIX by the wollongong group
when it was still in wollongong and the licensing was done by
western electric.

There are many who will argue that V7 was the last REAL UNIX.
There are also others who will argue that it was V6.

Yes one usually thinks to oneself. If one thinks to others, it is called ESP.
