So there must have been a sixth edition....
Was trying to remember the Bell Labs followon to Unix...thinking it was PLAN (6) maybe.
Well here Wiki has :Plan_9_from_Bell_Labs
My Bell Labs Unix System V R2 manual I worked at Bell Labs in Denver from 1982 - 1990 Some Super sub-sets of Unix The Unix Seventh Edition is copyrighted in 1979
it was most likely UnixTSS 7 (1979)
is dated December 1983.
We used System V Release 2.
or BSD 4.3 or Amdahl UTS.
were used in Switches up through COs
