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.

I feel just a little bit stupid for not figuring them out sooner, but smart in
being able to figure them out on my own.
Some of you may remember a post I wrote some time ago, dealing with E11
(Ersatz-11) and the RL02 v7 image. I mentioned not being able to get out of
single-user mode, and being unable to view man pages.
Well, as it turns out, I stumbled across the method of getting to multi-user
mode. ^D, imagine that. Dropping out of single-user mode starts multi-user
mode. That's not something I would have been able to use logic to figure out.
And, well, I happened to notice that there was no temp directory, so no wonder
man couldn't create its temp file. A quick little 'mkdir tmp' and that
problem was fixed. Now, that was something I was able to figure out
logically.
Of course, now my problem is that the console is presumed to be a TTY and not
a CRT terminal. And so, man pages just scroll right up and off the screen. Oh
well. I'm sure I'll figure out something. Eventually.

Actually, termcap and vi was ported back to V7 very early in the piece,
though you needed an ID space processor (aka PDP11/45/50/55/70) to run vi.
There were several paging programs about, some using termcap. From memory
there was dis, pg and more. The man command didn't do any pagination
