For what it's worth, there is a roff.s in the PDP-7 sources.

The command list:

The first was an 11/20, initially, I seem to recall running without
any MMU (I remember a story that it was customary to yell out "a.out"
in the terminal room before running a newly compiled binary to give
everyone a chance to save their files).

I believe the step up was to the high-end 11/45, which I believe came
out before the 11/40 (a mid-range system with MMU but not separate
Instruction & Data spaces).
