Yes, order will be important, I forgot. There's no ranlib in v6 :-)

Duhh. I never noticed the missing "*.o"!
I wonder how that one slipped through? Looking at 'run', it really does look
like it was used to prepare the systems on the distribution tape. So probably
the libraries just happened to already hold the latest and greatest, so that
error had no effect.
The thing with needing to order the library contents properly to cause all the
modules to get loaded is, I reckon, the reason why 'ar' has those arguments to
specify where in the archive a given file goes.

So... I whacked /usr/sys/lib1 and lib2 ‘accidentally’ meaning I logged in as bin changed to /usr/sys and typed rm lib1 and rm lib2 :). Now, I was thinking at the time that I could regenerate them... this seems like a possibility, but I can’t seem to get them back.
sh run as bin doesn’t do it.
So, what magic incantation is required to rebuild them.
What motivated the exploration was a desire to modify main.c and see those changes manifest.
Help.
Thanks,

We gained John von Neumann on this day in 1903, and if you haven't heard
of him then you are barely human... As computer science goes, he's right
up there with Alan Turing. There is speculation that he knew of Babbage's
work; see

Do any fellow TUHS subscribers have any experience with NFS,
particularly in combination with Kerberos authentication?
I'm messing with something that is making me think that Kerberos
authentication (sec=krb5{,i,p}) usurps no_root_squash.
Meaning that root can't access files owned by other users with go-rwx.
Almost as if no_root_squash wasn't configured on the export.
Does anyone have a spare bone that they would be willing to throw my way?

I thought I read a different email saying that there will be a track
about the 50th anniversary. But cannot find any details or reference to
it now.
Does anyone have information about Unix 50th celebration(s)?
Is it time for paper submissions? ...
====
If you mean for the 2019 USENIX Annual Technical Conference,
the CFP is
https://www.usenix.org/conference/atc19/call-for-papers
The submission deadline is about three weeks away, on
2019-01-10.
I see nothing explicit about a UNIX 50th celebration, alas.
At least one program-committee member is on this list; perhaps
more information will appear. Or there's a contact address
for the program co-chairs on the web page cited above.

Hi all, I've just heard that the Usenix board of directors do not want
to explicitly celebrate the 50th anniversary of Unix.
It's been suggested that we, the TUHS members, both lobby the board and
also offer our assistance to help organisation such a celebration.
Who, on the list, would put their hands up to help organising something
that coincided with the 2019 Usenix ATC in July 2019?
I'd like to get the bare bones of an organising team, then approach the
Usenix board, offer our help and ask them to support us.
What do you think? 11 months to go.
Thanks, Warren
P.S. Nokia Bell Labs are also going to organise something, possibly a month
earlier but I have no solid details yet.
Hi folks,
This is a little sideways from on topic, but no too far. Is there a good open source implementation of a pdp11 for fpga in verilog/vhdl that works well for Unix v6+? Google turns up a number, but I’m hoping some of y’all have actual experience with one that you could recommend over others. I’m financially challenged so it’s a requirement that it run on cheap fpga’s not some Tesla prototype :)

Hi all, also an off-topic question. I got a private e-mail from a person
who has been trying to collect old academic papers from the CompSci/IT
field. Does anybody know of an existing archive for old CS/IT papers?
Thanks, Warren
Hi
One of the reasons I enjoy emacs is Meta-X dissociated-press, which
turns the most turgid bureaucratic prose into something truly worth
reading.
Has anybody documented or provided a timeline for the emergence of the
Travesty Generator? (I know that text processing was one of the major
focuses of university research, as opposed to the more utilitarian
focuses of the scientific computing or corporate record keeping areas.
One early CompSci book I got from a second-hand booksellers in
Christchurch before the earthquakes, had a nice section on SNOBOL.)
So who wrote the first Travesty Generator/s?
