-For many years, the only extant source code from the PDP-7 version of Unix appeared to be the source code to the //dsw//  command that Dennis [[http://minnie.tuhs.org/pipermail/pups/1999-November/000139.html|posted on the net.unix-wizards]] Usenet newsgroup in 1984.

 I happened to dredge up an old notebook and found a listing of the PDP-7 version of dsw. Because several people have approached me recently about reviving a version of PDP-7 Unix as a sort of paleontological exhibit, and because the subject has been discussed here, I thought people might be interested in seeing the code. I first considered net.sources, but decided not to carry whimsy too far. I happened to dredge up an old notebook and found a listing of the PDP-7 version of dsw.

 The [PDP-]7, 9, 15 were very compatible.  I think the -15 had some scheme for using an index register, which the earlier ones didn't have, but it was otherwise pretty much identical in IS architecture. The [PDP-]7, 9, 15 were very compatible.  I think the -15 had some scheme for using an index register, which the earlier ones didn't have, but it was otherwise pretty much identical in IS architecture.
