I bet that would be written in some ANSI C, for which you won't find a C
compiler for V7...

Does V7 require a special version, or can you just download less from

I personally don't recall there ever being a less for v7. more, ex, vi,
and csh were on a tape image of UCB tools, if you can find that.

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?
Thanks,
Will
