Hi all, back in 2004 I wrote a tool to compare sets of C code trees,
as a response to the SCO vs. IBM lawsuit. I've revisited and improved
the performance of the tool, and I have released a new version at
http://minnie.tuhs.org/Programs/Ctcompare/
The tool produces a tokenised representation of each source tree in
a format called CTF. The CTF representation of a proprietary source
tree can be exported without revealing too much of the source code.
See http://minnie.tuhs.org/Programs/Ctcompare/README.txt for the
full details.
I would dearly love to get hold of some CTF files of more recent
UNIX source trees, i.e. from SysVR4 onwards, and especially the
Unixware source trees which relate the the SCO vs. IBM lawsuit.
If you can make them available to me, I would appreciate it. I
understand that you might wish to donate these anonymously, so
soon I will write a web script to allow you to upload a CTF file
to my server "minnie" anonymously.
Many thanks in advance!

Hi Guys,
I'm having a bit of a clearout. Moving house and so on. I find that I have a pair of uVAX 3400s going spare. It's a long time since I've looked at these but from memory they've each got three drives and I think one of them has an external disc cab. There will be some serial cards in them and possibly, though I'm not sure, a SCSI tape drive card. There is the normal TK70 cartridge drive.
They were both working when I got them and I have done nothing with them at all (they are in storage at the moment). Both have, I think, got VMS on them.
These are available to collect in Cirencester in the UK.
Make me an offer someone.

Hi all

I've just finished reading Peter Salus' "A Quarter Century of Unix", and this
time round, I was brought up short by the comments on Prime, Primos and The
Software Tools.
Has anyone done a simulator/emulator of the Prime? (I must confess, a
hardware architecture that's described as a cross between a GE-645 and the
Intel 80286, not only intrigues me, it also makes my toes curl. ;)
Has anyone attempted to get a copy of PrimOS for such a simulator/emulator?
And if one was to attempt such a feat, where would one go?
And Spafford says, commenting on Prime's version of Software Tools, that the
final release was into the public domain. Is it still extant? Has anyone
seen hair or hide of the creature?
That's the first matter/question. The second one is to do with /rdb, which a
quick search on Google informs me, was written by Walter V. Hobbs of Rand
Corp., and was placed in the public domain. It apparently is at:
ftp://ftp.rand.org/pub/RDB-hobbs
but I can't get through to it.
Is there any copy of it extant at some site where I can get through to it?
(I'm aware there is a software publisher that sells a more up-to-date version
of it, but I'd like to play with the original and bring it up to date
myself ;)
Thanks

Hi,
I could make SIMH VAX-11/780 emulator run 32V, 3BSD and 4.0BSD successfully.
You can see (rather tarse) details on my web site:

Enjoy!

to all 2.11bsd users:
when searching through the 2.11bsd code I wanted many times
a hyperlinked and cross referenced rendition of the sources,
much like doxygen or lxr does it. For kernel, lib and user
code, for c and assembler.
Since none of the existing tools seemed to do what I wanted
I wrote a perl script generating such a html'ized version of
the source code.
The tool far from finished, but starts to be useful. The
results from what I'd call an early alpha version are now
available. Just start with either the tar source
http://www-linux.gsi.de/~mueller/test/211bsd/usr/src/bin/tar.c.html
or the kernel init routine
http://www-linux.gsi.de/~mueller/test/211bsd/usr/src/sys/sys/init_main.c.ht…
and click a little around. The style sheet is still the debug
version, not all links end where they should.
The cross reference sections aren't complete, but already
useful. To see for example who is using setjmp see
http://www-linux.gsi.de/~mueller/test/211bsd/usr/src/lib/libc/pdp/gen/setjm…
or who is including nlist.h see
http://www-linux.gsi.de/~mueller/test/211bsd/usr/include/nlist.h.html#xref:…
The background color tells you in which territory you are in
magenta boot and standalone code

Hope you enjoy it.
With best regards,

Hello all-
I'm a n00b on this list, so please forgive me my sins as I forgive
those who.... uh, never mind. Anyway, I am looking to get a "PDP-11
Processor Handbook" from Amazon or eBay (so I can understand the Lions
book) and there are so many different editions and versions... Lions
writes about the 11/40, but supposedly, that's not too different from
the /45 or /70. My simh boot images for v6 are for the /45 (though
supposedly I'm supposed to be able to modify them to run on the
others, right?).
What I'm asking is your advice on which Handbook to buy. Here is a
synopsis on the editions and prices from amazon:
/04/34A/44/60/70 (1979) $10
/04/34/45/55/60 (1978) $40
/70 (1975) $16
/04, 24, 34A, 70 (Jun 1981) $16
/04/05/10/35/40/45 (1975) $45
What do you think?
Thanks for your time,
Ross
Hi,
does anyone still have the source code for the RAND editor
e19 <http://www.rand.org/pubs/notes/N2239-1/>? One can read
on the net that it was once available as public domain from
ftp.rand.org, but this machine seems not available anymore.
There is an archive rand.tar.Z in the 2.10 (BSD) directory of
CSRG CD 1, but this contains the older version e14. I think
it would be good to also have the final version e19 in the
Unix archive.
Thanks
Gunnar
