Computing | Version 7 alt. V7 /vee' se'vn/ n. The first widely distributed version of Unix, released unsupported by Bell Labs in 1978. The term is used adjectivally to describe Unix features and programs that date from that release, and are thus guaranteed to be present and portable in all Unix versions (this was the standard gauge of portability before the POSIX and IEEE 1003 standards). Note that this usage does _not_ derive from the release being the "seventh version of Unix"; research Unix at Bell Labs has traditionally been numbered according to the edition of the associated documentation. Indeed, only the widely-distributed Sixth and Seventh Editions are widely known as V[67]; the OS that might today be known as `V10' is instead known in full as "Tenth Edition Research Unix" or just "Tenth Edition" for short. For this reason, "V7" is often read by cognoscenti as "Seventh Edition". See BSD, {Unix. Some old-timers impatient with commercialization and kernel bloat still maintain that V7 was the Last True Unix. Source: Jargon File. |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The Sixth Edition was the first to be widely distributed beyond Bell Laboratories, and, along with additions in the Seventh Edition formed the basis for much of the original BSD code. The Seventh Edition was the basis for System III and System V, with the Computing Research group later releasing the Eighth and Ninth Editions and the commercial side (originally Western Electric, but later reformed as a group at AT&T Bell Laboratories in Summit, NJ (whose name I can't recall), releasing the System V Releases 1 through 4, the first ports of which, invariably, were done internally on DEC VAX systems, AT&T-designed 3B-series systems (the 3B-20 was used extensively inside AT&T in the mid to late 1980s, and was the core of the #5ESS switching system sold by AT&T to the various Bell Operating Companies and to telephone companies around the world, and the 3B-2 was actually sold as a desktop Unix system by AT&T to the world at large in the mid-80s).
