As quoted from <153@hobbes.UUCP> by root@hobbes.UUCP (John Plocher):

| Most versions of Unix (ALL before SV) _came_ with a C compiler!!! No extra
+---------------
Xenix was available in runtime versions (no C compiler) before System V came
out. One of my earliest clients had an Altos 586, with two possible operating
systems: MP/M and Xenix. The Xenix turned out to be runtime-only; and rather
badly selected for runtime-ness as well. I advised him to use the MP/M and
forget Xenix.
