All this talk about compatibility...was there ever UNIX made for the PDP

largely ignorant to the details but from 20000 feet it would seem like this
would have been taken care of long ago.  No need for pre-processing code,
etc.  Please educate me if I am wrong, just curious.

for laughs I wandered over to:

http://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/mirrors/minnie.tuhs.org/PDP-11/Boot_Images/

To see if the copy of V6 on RL02 is still there.... yep it is. and it runs on a 11/23 just fine
as thanks to someone I have a copy on RL02 that I boot from time to time.

Seems the problem is solved. If memory serves it cannot use more than 256K even if the
machine is Q22.
