A port of Version 6 Unix to the Interdata 7/32 was completed by Richard Miller and Ross Nealon at Wollongong University, Australia, during 1976-1977. This project was supervised by professor Juris Reinfelds. The resulting system was called Wollongong Interdata UNIX, Level 6. This distribution also included utilities developed at Wollongong, and later releases had features of V7, notably its C compiler. Wollongong Unix was the first ever port to a platform other than the PDP series of computers, proving that portable operating systems were indeed feasible, and that C was the language in which to write them. In 1980, this version was licensed to The Wollongong Group in Palo Alto that published it as Edition 7.
