Re: [TUHS] Poll: good location for Unix documentation?

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

> From: "Brian L. Stuart" > (The tmg doc was one I remember not being there.) Err, TMG(VI) is 1/2 page long. Is that really what you were looking for? (I _did_ specify the 'UPM'.) I do happen to have the V6-era TMG _manual_, if that's what you're looking for. Noel

Poll: good location for Unix documentation?

by Warren Toomey

All, I'm just musing where is the best place to store Unix documentation. My Unix Archive is really just a filesystem, so it's not so good to capture and search metadata. Is anybody using archive.org, gunkies or something else, and have recommendations? Cheers, Warren

UNIX NEWS, volumes 1-7 out there?

by Warner Losh

I'm looking for complete compies of UNIX NEWS volumes 1-7. 8 and newer are available on the USENIX site, or on archive.org, but older ones are not. A few excerpts are published in newer login issues, but nothing complete. Reading the AUUGN issues, especially the early ones, are quite enlightening and help one judge the relative merits of later accounts with better contemporary context. I was hoping to get the same from UNIX NEWS (later login) and any other news letters that may exist from the time (I think I spotted references to one from the UK in AUUGN). It's really quite enlightening. Warner

Recovered!!! The Georgia Tech Software Tools Subystem for Prime Computers

by Arnold Robbins

Hello All. Believed lost in the mists of time for over 30 years, the Georgia Tech Software Tools Subsystem for Prime Computers, along with the Georgia Tech C Compiler for Prime Computers, have been recovered! The source code and documentation (and binary files) are available in a Github repo: https://github.com/arnoldrobbins/gt-swt. The README.md there provides some brief history and credits with respect to the recovery, and w.r.t. the subsystem and C compilers themselves. Credit to Scott Lee for making and keeping the tapes and driving the recovery process, and to Dennis Boone and yours truly for contributing financially. I set up the repo. For anyone who used and/or contributed to this software, we hope you'll enjoy this trip down memory lane. Feel free to forward this note to interested parties. Enjoy, Arnold Robbins (On behalf of the swt recovery team. :-)

8bc -- a B compiler for the PDP-8

by Robert Clausecker

Greetings! As a project for our university's seminar on the PDP-8 I wrote a compiler for the B language targeting it. It's a bit rough around the edges and the runtime code needs some work (division and remainder are missing), but it does compile B code correctly, generating acceptable code (for my taste, though the function call sequence could be better). I hope some of you enjoy this compiler for an important historical language for an important historical computer (makes me wonder why the two weren't married before). https://github.com/fuzxxl/8bc Yours, Robert Clausecker -- () ascii ribbon campaign - for an 8-bit clean world /\ - against html email - against proprietary attachments

OpenSolaris Git ?

by Alexander Voropay

Hi! Is there a public OpenSolaris Git/CVS/SVN ? The openloaris.org site is down. AFIK the first sources set (not complete) was published around June 2005. The latest available sources were b135 March 2010 (available at TUHS) https://www.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=OpenSolaris_b135 It would be interesting to see an evolution of "pure" SysV R4. -- -=AV=-
