Greetings all.
The V7 ls(1) man page says that the -s option, which prints total
blocks, includes any indirect blocks.
However, the V7 struct stat didn't have the st_blocks member in the
struct stat, and the code in ls.c uses
long
nblock(size)
long size;
{
return((size+511)>>9);
}
So, is this just a case of the man page being mistaken?
When did the struct stat acquire the st_blocks member?
While I'm at it, the V7 ls -a option only adds . and .. to the
list; apparently all other dot files were printed by default.
When did ls change such that -a applied to all dot files?
Thanks,
Arnold Robbins

Hi,
What do you make of the SCO (Caldera) lawsuit?
Does it affect the archive in any way?

I asked Per Brinch Hansen recently about Solo and Concurrent Pascal, for use
on the PDP 11 simulators, et al, and I received a reply today.
This is it. I am wondering, does anyone have any clue as to where these
copies of the system might be squirrelled away? How many might've seen it at
their Universities?

On May 4, you wrote:
What I was wondering is, would it be worth asking you about
the possibility of your releasing the Concurrent Pascal, Solo
OS and several other such computer tools and programs, to PUPS
(the PDP Unix Preservation Society)?
At Caltech we prepared a distribution tape for the PDP 11/45
with the source text and portable code of the Solo system,
including the Concurrent and Sequential Pascal compiler. The
system reports were supplemented by implementation notes.
By the spring of 1976 we had distributed the system to 75
companies and 100 universities in 21 countries. Later, other
people moved the system to the Interdata 8/32, NCR 8250,
Modular 1, LSI 11, IBM 370/145 and many other computers.
Sad to say, I no longer have a copy of the system (and I
don't know who does).

Hi to all,
I stumbled on your mailing list and I thought this would be a good place to
pose my question. I was looking around for information about several little
known (to me) unix derived Oses.
AMIX (Amiga Unix)
RISCiX
ArchBSD
Lynx
Inferno
Helios
What I am looking for is basically what versions existed and when they were
released, and also from where did they originate. For instance I know that
RISCiX originated from BSD 4.4 but that is all I know.
I also know that inferno grew out of the research for plan 9, but what
version of plan 9 it evolved from I don¹t know.
Anyone know the above info? If not any idea where I can look for further
info?
Thanks :)

Hi.
I got a "Tektronix 8560 Multi-User Software Development Unit" together
with a Tektronix 8540 in system 68k CPU emulator. The 8560 is based on
the DEC M8186 PDP-11/23 CPU module but that card is the one and only DEC
part in the machine. Everything else is from Tektronix. There is a 35 MB
8" disk and a 8" floppy in the 8560 and it runs some flavor of UNIX
called TNIX. I am trying to break into it currently, as I have no
passwords. I can't get it to single user mode and I have no distribution
media nor no stand alone tools.
Has someone heared from this machine bevore?
Has someone distribution media or stand alone tools?
