[TUHS] Did System V Really Prevent 5BSD?

[Rik Farrow via TUHS]

I have to disagree with Clem about the date of the SysV release. As an
example, see this PDF from a set of manuals for System V:

I was running SVR3 on a Motorola 68010 by 1984, and used it to write a book
about administering to System V.
