unix also called version 7 unix version 7 or just v7 was an important early release of the unix operating system v7 released in 1979 was the last bell laboratories release to see widespread distribution before the commercialization of unix by at t corporation in the early 1980s v7 was originally developed for digital equipment corporation s pdp 11 minicomputers and was later ported to other platforms contents 1 overview 2 reception 3 released as free software 4 new features in version 7 4 1 multiplexed files 5 see also 6 references 7 external links overview edit unix versions from bell labs were designated by the edition of the user s manual with which they were accompanied released in 1979 the seventh edition was preceded by sixth edition which was the first version licensed to commercial users 1 development of the research unix line continued with the eighth edition which incorporated development from 4 1bsd through the tenth edition after which the bell labs researchers concentrated on developing plan 9 v7 was the first readily portable version of unix as this was the era of minicomputers with their many architectural variations and also the beginning of the market for 16 bit microprocessors many ports were completed within the first few years of its release the first sun workstations then based on the motorola 68000 ran a v7 port by unisoft 2 the first version of xenix for the intel 8086 was derived from v7 and onyx systems soon produced a zilog z8000 computer running v7 the vax port of v7 called unix 32v was the direct ancestor of the popular 4bsd family of unix systems the group at the university of wollongong that had ported v6 to the interdata 7 32 ported v7 to that machine as well interdata sold the port as edition vii making it the first commercial unix offering citation needed dec distributed their own pdp 11 version of v7 called v7m for modified v7m developed by dec s original unix engineering group ueg contained many enhancements to the kernel for the pdp 11 line of computers including significantly improved hardware error recovery and many additional device drivers 3 ueg evolved into the group that later developed ultrix reception edit due to its power yet elegant simplicity many old time unix users remember v7 as the pinnacle of unix development and have dubbed it the last true unix an improvement over all preceding and following unices at the time of its release though its greatly extended feature set came at the expense of a decrease in performance compared to v6 which was to be corrected largely by the user community 4 the number of system calls in version 7 was only around 50 while later unix and unix like systems continued to add many more 5 version 7 of the research unix system provided about 50 system calls 4 4bsd provided about 110 and svr4 had around 120 the exact number of system calls varies depending on the operating system version more recent systems have seen incredible growth in the number of supported system calls linux 5 15 0 has 449 system calls and freebsd 8 0 has over 450 released as free software edit screenshot of a pdp 11 booting version 7 unix in a simulator in 2002 caldera international released 6 v7 as foss under a permissive bsd like software license 7 8 9 bootable images for v7 can still be downloaded today and can be run on modern hosts using pdp 11

environment variables a maximum file size of just over one gigabyte 1 through a system of indirect addressing 12 multiplexed files edit a feature that did not survive long was a second way besides pipes to do inter process communication multiplexed files a process could create a special type of file with the mpx system call other processes could then open this file to get a channel denoted by a file descriptor which could be used to communicate with the process that created the multiplexed file 13 mpx files were considered experimental not enabled in the default kernel 14 and disappeared
