I thought V7M and Ultrix were entirely diferent and unrelated things.
At least on the Pro, DEC released a betal version of the one (which I
tried when it came out) and then canceled it and replaced it by a
release of the other. I forgot which came first, other than that the
beta was really clunky. As in, a "vi" that didn't do real screen
updates...

They are indeed different. V7m is based on 7th edition A&T UNIX,
whereas Ultrix was based in BSD.

OOOPS. Belay that. Further reading of the SPD seems to imply that
Ultrix-11 was simply an evolutionary step from V7m to support more
hardware - notably the 11.73.
