Did advent run under PDP11 unix?
There was a version on the V6 PDP11 Unix at MIT; not sure if that was a local
port, or one we picked up from somewhere else.

Ooh... I'd love to see that. I've fiddled a lot with RT-11 and VAX
UNIX (Ultrix and Sys V), and some with 2.9BSD on the PDP-11. Could be
fun to cross those streams.
Is that still floating around anywhere?
