Death of dmr

by Greg 'groggy' Lehey

For those of you who haven't heard yet, dmr died on Sunday. Rob Pike announced it at https://plus.google.com/101960720994009339267/posts/ENuEDDYfvKP I don't know what to say. A *real* giant is dead. And almost the saddest thing is that nobody has paid any attention. Greg -- Sent from my desktop computer Finger grog(a)FreeBSD.org for PGP public key.

dmr has passed away

by Warren Toomey

https://plus.google.com/101960720994009339267/posts/ENuEDDYfvKP?hl=en I just heard that, after a long illness, Dennis Ritchie (dmr) died at home this weekend. I have no more information. I trust there are people here who will appreciate the reach of his contributions and mourn his passing appropriately. He was a quiet and mostly private man, but he was also my friend, colleague, and collaborator, and the world has lost a truly great mind. - Pob Pike With great thanks and appreciation to him, Warren

Dennis Ritchie...rip?

by Jason Stevens

wikipedia is listing that Dennis Ritchie just passed.. If that is so, then it really is a sad week to lose such a visionary. I wish I had some real details, but Rob Pike has it mentioned on his google+ account.... https://plus.google.com/u/0/101960720994009339267/posts/ENuEDDYfvKP?hl=en

Re: [TUHS] UNIX V 6.9999999 ?

by Jason Stevens

Ah that makes sense, I could totally see that happening.. Esp with the cost of hardware back then! It is insteresting reading about people haveing 600MB of storage back in 1981.. I can only imagine how much it'd have cost! Thanks again!

Back in the V6 days, I was known as Mr Unix 6-and-a-half, because I'd spliced all sorts of V7 features into V6 - notably XON/XOFF, and there was no way that V7 would run on the 11/40, I rewrote the Calcommp and Versatec plotter drivers to use the block interface, and they went like a bat out of hell. Sigh... We had fun in those days. -- Dave _______________________________________________ TUHS mailing list TUHS(a)minnie.tuhs.org https://minnie.tuhs.org/mailman/listinfo/tuhs

I suspect you could check the modification dates on the files, and the file SCCS IDs, against the source-code revision logs to figure this out for sure. --keith =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Keith Bostic keith(a)bostic.com

UNIX V 6.9999999 ?

by Jason Stevens

While cruising olduse.net I came across this puzzling entry in net.general Department of Computer Engineering and Science Case Western Reserve University Cleveland, Ohio We would like to announce our connection to Usenet. We are a private university located in Cleveland, vacation spot of the midwest. The department's primary facilities consist of: VAX 11/780: hardware: RM05's, TU77, DZ-11, DH-11 (able), 2.5 Mbytes. software: 4.1 BSD PDP 11/45: hardware: RM02, DS330 (RP04), RK05, RX02, RS04(solid state) cache45 (able), DH-11 software: UNIX V 6.9999999 What is UNIX V 6.9999999?? I suspect it's v6 with a bunch of patches, but not quite v7? I've seen from some Russian stuff that they prefered v6 on pdp-11's as it "ran faster" than v7 and needed far less ram/disk space... I know it's 30 years too late to ask them what it is but I figure someone may have actually ran/used 6.9999999... Thanks Jason Stevens
