Recent updates
Notes: I listed the languages in alphabetical order, except for 'C' as this is always a given for UNIX/xenix/linux/GNU systems.
I will research and add the release dates for as much as I can find.
I added links for references, I added architectures, and I will add a list of both distribution repositories, and running emulators and VMs. ( one click runs. )
How would Microsoft have gotten the first version of XENIX to run on a PDP-11, i.e. what was their development machine/OS? PDP-11/RSTS-e? I am wildly guessing, as besides the Zilog 8k, this architecture PDP-11, which seems to be a specialty around here, I have never used.
