Hi Bill
you may try a current version of the simh emulator (simh 3.5.-2) which
is available from simh.trailing-edge.com. I had no problems with Ultrix
3.1, Unix V6/V7 etc.. I couldn't find xenix for pdpd-11 (did I miss that
in the archives?). There is Venix, but it's for the PRO-350/380, which
is not a "normal" PDP-11.
As for the OS Tim Berners-Lee used for his first Browser, I believe that
it was made on a Norsk Data Technostation. There is very few information
available on these machines, and I don't think there is an emulator for
them. There are only a few webpages mentioning it at all: see
http://heim.ifi.uio.no/~toresbe/nd/history.html for example (it has a
picture of the machine, note the funny terminal with the two LCD's in
addition to the monitor). I recently donated my Technostation to a
computer museum...

Doubtful. Everything I have read leads me to believe that Tim Berners-
Lee wrote the first web browser on using a NeXT cube running an early
version (2.x or earlier) of the NEXTSTEP operating system.

There's a reason Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson have been awarded
the U.S. National Medal of Technology (1998) and are fellows of the
Computer History Museum Online. Dave Cutler hasn't and isn't.

I believe there was a version of Xenix for the PDP-11 but Xenix is
based on SYSIII which I understand is not covered by the ancient Unix
license. Of course, if it is, I would love a copy of SYSIII. :-)

And also a8K version for the Tandy 16/6000 series. I still have
it, but don't use it anymore. It probably wouldn't even boot at
this point.

Hi,
I have successfully got the supnik emulator up and running on redhat but
have hit a problem, which is probably configuration and serves to show how
little I know about more recent unices.
To allow computer to emulator comms I have installed a second card and
enabled it under linux. It is enabled with a different address to the first
one 192.168.1.10 and 192.168.1.11. The emulator can see both of the devices
and I have attached device 1 (eth1) as xq0.
I run up BSD2.11 on the emulator and it attaches to the ether device at
start up.
I can ftp from the emulator to the host and back again if I start ftp on the
emulator.
I can't telnet to the host.
I can't telnet from the host to the emulator.
I can't ftp from the host to the emulator.
I also can't telnet in from a telnet session to the listening socket set up
for a DZ11 (I could before I started trying to get the networking up).
Ideas anyone?
Robin
Hi,
I've found the documentation for most of the major
troff preprocessors and macros packages, but I can't
seem to find anything but occasional references to a
paper on the "Programmer's Memorandum Macros" (troff -mm)
by Smith and Mashey.
I'm hoping some of you may have better insight into
the matter...

Try asking on the groff mailing list, they have been very active lately,
built a new macro package even.

Please, forgive me. I profusely apologize for all the inconveniences. It's
been fixed now.
I am sorry, I have been busy with lectures and travels and had forgotten the
issue until I finally found time tonight to re-check TUHS on this account. To
top it off my home computer broke and I only bought a new one yesterday.
Be assured I blushed when I saw my mistake and it has been the first thing
I've done.
I'll try not to leave TUHS for so long again. Promise.
