I've assembled some notes from old manuals and other sources
on the formats used for on-disk file systems through the
Seventh Edition:

Additional notes, comments on style, and whatnot are welcome.
(It may be sensible to send anything in the last two categories
directly to me, rather than to the whole list.)
Hi,
I successfully made SIMH VAX-11/780 emulator run 32V, 3BSD and 4.0BSD.
Details are on my web site (thogh rather tarse):

Enjoy!

I'm pinging my contacts to see if I can find a place to host a mirror.
I think that Oregon State Open Source Lab has a fat link to the net
and I used to know Scott K but he's moved on. If I get anywhere I'll
get back to the list.
BTW, whoever is the listmom, can you change me from digest to regular?

On the TUHS site there is a list of other available sites.
If you want you can try mine (ftp.es.embnet.org/pub/misc/TUHS) but be
advised that I try to keep copies of more things than the original site
and it may be bigger.
I can't remember offhand now if rsync was set up or not and I'm now on
holidays abroad so it's difficult to check (mainly due to the strange
french keyboard).
Anyway, you're welcome and I will make sure rsync works (when I'm back on
January) at my site.

Oh, I have fond memories of the Masscomp. That's where I learned how to
do sys admin (recovered from an rm -rf /) as well as networking (based
on 4.1c BSD as I recall, plus hacks). Masscomp had a really nicely redone
version of the socket programming docs that was most helpful at the time.
I was ..!uwvax!geowhiz!geophys!lm as I recall and all the geo* were
Masscomps.
Ah, the joys of 20 users on a 40MB disk. That's why I wrote something
that turned Honeyman's time optimal but space worst case pathalias
db into O(time optimal) as well as O(space best case). Only dynamic
programming alg I've ever done and written up.

Hi!
We just recovered an HP APOLLO Series 400 in our computer museum,
and we got the installation tapes of DOMAIN/OS. It seem a very
particular flavour of BSD 5.3. We also made a dump of the
tapes, to preserve it. :D
Does someone know more about it? What about licensing? Is
it covered by some sort of hobbyist license?
Kisses to everybody! :)

Hi. Warren and I seem to be on opposite ends of the world network wise,
such that I am unable to rsync to minnie to keep my copy of the TUHS
archive up to date.
Does anyone out there in TUHS land have a copy they're willing to make
available for syncing?
Thanks!

Does anyone know (remember) which Unices had .../bin/[ be a link
to .../bin/test. I remember this being the case, but it is not so on
any recent Solaris. It is the case on my Mac, so in at least one BSD
derivative. I looked through a 7th edition tarball from the archive
and it's not the case there. So my guess is that it is a BSDism, and
it probably was the case in SunOS 4 and before, and I guess on at
least 4.2BSD & later.
Thanks
