:Version 7: alt. V7 /vee' se'vn/ n. The 1978 unsupported release of
{{UNIX}} ancestral to all current commercial versions. Before
the release of the POSIX/SVID standards, V7's features were often
treated as a UNIX portability baseline. See {BSD}, {USG UNIX},
{{UNIX}}. Some old-timers impatient with commercialization and
kernel bloat still maintain that V7 was the Last True UNIX.
