No, it looks like it uses a different fie-system layout. Besides; there's not much point: the big adantage of using V6 is that one can use the V6 tool-chain to prepare Mini-Unix binaries; XV6 wouldn't allow that. If all one wants to do is get files in or out, there's already a program (compilable with gcc, that uses Standard I/O) to read files out of a V6 filesystem. If there was any good need, it could be extended to write (although that would be non-trivial). Noel
