As the guy who started this thread, I'm very grateful for the help.
All I wanted was the lint libraries I wrote, those were like include files
and it is hard to imagine Sun cares about those (I had to threaten to
quit to get them included in the release, back in the day of 200MB disks).
And while I really appreciate all the offers for the source of SunOS
4.x, I'm a CEO of a software company and it would be way over the line
if I accepted any of those offers. So thanks, I appeciate it, but I
hope you'll understand that I have to color inside the lines.

Hi,
Does anyone of You know of any public mainframe/as400 offering public
service with 3270 interface, I mean which can be contacted via x3270
running in Unix X.
locis.loc.gov, serving in Library of Congress for 2 or 3 decades, seems
to be gone, but perhaps there are still some survived in USA .

I beleive I have sucessfully read a Dec, 1979 mini-unix
distribution tape yesterday evening. I've placed it for
the next week or so under http://bitsavers.org/miniunix
It is in .tap format, which should work with SIMH.
It is a single large file blocked 512 bytes/record
Does anyone out there have a machine or a tape? I'm looking for the
lint libraries I wrote, there were posix, psd, xpg*, etc. I was pretty
focussed, back in the day, on making it easy for people to write code
that could port easily. These days nobody cares about that stuff but
I'd like a copy of those lint libs. If you don't get why think about
how hard it is to care if it is a char* or a void* or an int or a long.
Thanks,

Cfront has been released as historic source by AT&T, though
I haven't found the license, the code is here:
http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/c_plus_plus
I am currently trying to awaken Cfront 3.03 - more an issue
of understanding it than repairing bitrot. If anyone
has any bugifxes or additional tools for cfront they would be
willing to share I would be very interested.
I will post again if/when I get it all to work.
Thanks

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!
Warren
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.
Robin

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
Wesley Parish
