Answer: Not at all, at least not from the WinWorld archive. It turns out 'ed' is an optional package, and neither 'm4' nor 'make' are in the floppy set at all. I need either a SVR4 version other than AT&T 2.1 or a later Unix.

If you have an Intel Raptor Lake system and you're in the northern hemisphere, chances are that your machine is crashing more often because of the summer heat. I know because I can literally see which EU countries have been affected by heat waves by looking at the locales of Firefox crash reports coming from Raptor Lake systems.

Saltpeter touchpaper, a 12-gauge shell, and a mallet, instead of a key. It's pretty mesmerizing.
