VENIX/Rainbow is a complete V7 UNIX.  It comes with everything you expect
in V7 UNIX, with the possible exception of troff (you do get nroff, though).
The C compiler is the usual pcc-based compiler.  It generates pretty good
code.

Hoping this will answer all the "How complete is it" and "What's included"
questions, here's a list of most of the things in /bin, /usr/bin, and
/usr/local/bin on our development system -- all of this is either included
with VENIX or (for the more obscure items) available on request:

How much does VENIX/rainbow cost?

Do they make a PC/xt version?

$800.00.

Yes, but they've discontinued the V7-based PC/XT VENIX and now only sell
the System V based version.  VENIX/Rainbow is V7-based.
