Does V7 require a special version, or can you just download less from gnu.org?

Thanks, Clem. Now I'm getting somewhere! I converted to a tap file (lo and behold, I wrote a perl script that did this for the silly thing 2 years ago) and ran it. Then attached the tap to simh and in v7: # tar xvfb /dev/rmt0 Invalid blocksize. (Max 20) hmm... that doesn't sound good, let's try it another way: # tar xv0 tar: ashell/ - cannot create x ashell/cont.a, 114488 bytes, 224 tape blocks x ashell/READ_ME, 825 bytes, 2 tape blocks # ls -ld ashell drwxrwxr-x 2 root 64 Dec 31 22:18 ashell # ls ashell READ_ME cont.a # find . -name "more*" -a -print # ... It's coming back to me now, but oh so slowly, why is it complaining about cannot create all the while creating the folder? Also, darn! I was hoping more would be in there somewhere. Anybody know where the more or less pager source code might be for v7?
