Hello!
Indeed. I did know about the MV series of machines and in fact that's
the fellow I met during the period that I referenced. I knew that no
such port was constructed for the first generation machines.
And incidentally the DG machines I first met were a NOVA-2 and then a
NOVA-3. Finally one who started out as a NOVA-4 but became an MV
Eclipse design.

for the vast majority of shops during the late 80s and during most of
the 90s who bought the software I've described and also the hardware
that's how it was done.
AFAIK there was no port of any 16-bit Unix to the Eclipse. The Eclipse
MV (32-bit) had a port of SVR2.

Sir, I quite agree with you, but what are we two against so many?
