What??  Well, all that System III ioctl v7 emulation code that I had to fix
to work correctly in the 68000/XENIX kernel must have been my imagination.
Not to mention the v7 / sys III system call collision tables.

Seriously, though, you're way outta line here.  XENIX System III is a
port of System III with some V7 utilties and programs kept around (like
/etc/init, which perhaps is what is causing your confusion).  

I have been maintaining Tandy's System III 68000 kernel and working on
the utility source for ~4 years now.  The kernel is System III, and so
are most of the utilities.  The same goes for XENIX System V (we have
parts of the SCO/uSoft source, so I'm speaking factually here as well).
