I may be able to give >a definitive answer about V7 next week. For what it's worth, ed is broken on PWB 1.2 (The precursor to USG System 3.0 that was released between V6 and V7). Almost everything on PWB 1.2 is V6-like, so I speculate that if V6 ed "works" (as Henry's suggests) and PWB 1.2 and V7 is broken, that the change was made on the research group's UNIX before the PWB people picked it up. I could fetch a V6 ed and diff it with the PWB ed. The number of diffs should be very small... Cheers, Dan Ts'o Dept.
