- No, but I think I can refute it with a reasonable degree of accuracy.
- It's been a while since I've seen the V7 addendum tape, but I don't
- remember "cpio" being on it. (There were other things, like a
- beefed-up F77, some fixes to "fgrep", and a newer version of "awk".
- The versions that came with various 4BSD releases seemed to be the V7
- addendum tape versions; "cpio" didn't come with any 4BSD release,
- which suggests that "cpio" wasn't on the V7 addendum tape, although
- it doesn't indicate it for sure.)
