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. -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitkeeper.com

HP Apollo Series 400 and DOMAIN/OS...

by asbesto

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! :) asbesto/freaknet computer museum http://museum.freaknet.org -- [ 73 de IW9HGS : freaknet medialab : radiocybernet : poetry hacklab] [ http://freaknet.org/asbesto - http://papuasia.org/radiocybernet ] [ NON SCRIVERMI USANDO LETTERE ACCENTATE! - NON MANDARMI ALLEGATI ] [ *I DELETE* EMAIL > 100K, ATTACHMENTS, HTML, M$-WORD DOC and SPAM ]

Anyone have a copy of the TUHS archive available for rsync?

by Aharon Robbins

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! Arnold Robbins

test / [

by Tim Bradshaw

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 --tim

I have now ordered the 1998 edition of "Computer > Engineering". I look forward to all of the stuff that was too late > for the > first edition. Bob, Sorry! I think I was actually talking about a different Bell title. I checked my past orders and found the following: Author: Bell, C. Gordon; Newell, Allen Title: Computer Structures: Readings and Examples Author: Siewiorek, Daniel; Bell, C. Gordon; Newell, Allen, Title: Computer Structures: Principles and Examples Both of these contain many architectural case studies (each book covers a different set). And both should be findable in this list: http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults? an=bell&sts=t&tn=computer+structures I also have Computer Engineering but it's a different book! Sorry again about the confusion. --Toby > > > Bob

I just bought a copy on eBay a couple of weeks ago, and have just read it cover to cover. A bit dry at the start, but fascinating...I starting using PDP11s back in 1972. (an 11/20) And used what I think was the first v6 UNIX system in England... Bob cc: pups(a)minnie.tuhs.org
