What happens is that sometimes I get a permissions complaint but sometimes I get a "bad interpreter" message. If I execute the shell with the file name as a parameter then it all works. I'm stumped.

simh+Quasijarus success

by Sergey Lapin

Hi, all!!! Still trying to implement multi-user unix-learning environment. So, I run simh with Quasijarus, when I telnet to port, that is redirected from serial, it automatically picks up unused line, that is fine, and eleminates a need for reconfiguration. But there is something interesting: I want to implement possibility to allow outgoing connections from emulated VAX. As I understand, 4.3BSD supports SLIP protocol. And I can get SLIP working through emulated serial line. So, the problem is: 1. How it was used to setup SLIP lines in 4.3BSD? :) 2. The other end - will slirp package work in such case? All the best, and thanks for all help, S.

Lions' V6 source code

by Maciek Bieszczad

Hi, What version, exactly, of 6th Edition source code is contained in the Lions' commentary booklets? I took a look at the version available for download at [http://v6.cuzuco.com/v6.pdf] but it does not seem to match the source code in the TUHS archives. If the source code was in fact modified by Lions, are there any machine-readable versions available? Regards, Maciek.

Re: [TUHS] Lions' V6 source code

by Brian S Walden

This is good. You can also get the straight text of the source without the line numbers by just removing the .html suffix of the the file (e.g try http://www.tom-yam.or.jp/2238/src/lp.c) I cannot read Japanese so I don't know if it says how it was produced or it's origin. But I can tell that it is not a derivative of the PDF I produced. -B > Well, I found a Japanese page that seems to have the Lions-formatted V6 code available in HTML format, just in case anyone is interested: > > http://www.tom-yam.or.jp/2238/src/ > > Maciek.

re: media: Unix's Founding Fathers

by dmr＠plan9.bell-labs.com

At this instant, there is an accessible link at http://www.economist.com/printedition/displayStory.cfm?Story_ID=2724348 though it has some popups. A very nice story indeed. I talked to the author (Konstantin Kakaes) for a couple of hours in March. He really did want to know mostly about the kind of things the article talks about, and though the PR guy had probably told him that I wouldn't get into things like SCO, in fact that wasn't what he was interested in.

media: Unix's Founding Fathers

by Corey

Good article in the June 10th issue of the Economist that may be of interest to TUHS members (I would have caught it sooner, but I'm a little behind in my reading). Unix's founding fathers Jun 10th 2004 From The Economist print edition Dennis Ritchie invented C and was one of the key members of the team behind Unix - two developments that underpin much modern software http://www.economist.com/displaystory.cfm?story_id=S%27%2980%2EQQ7%27%23%40… Subscription or "pay-per-view" required. I'd share the full article, but I am afraid of their lawyers. ---corey

Re: History of "sno" Snobol interpreter (V4, Sys V?)

by dmr＠plan9.bell-labs.com

Shoppa wondered, Can anyone comment about the history of the "sno" Snobol interpreter that seems to exist in V4 (man page in the archives gives 2/7/93 as the date) and some later Unix versions (Sys V, V6, etc.)? In the TUHS archives we have the V6 sources but they are remarkably comment- free. Was "sno" ever part of the build chain of any interesting utilities etc? Not that I know of; I think writing it was just a quick entertainment for Ken. The "application" that has survived is a 1-page program that solves the Soma (or Instant Insanity) puzzle. Dennis

History of "sno" Snobol interpreter (V4, Sys V?)

by shoppa＠trailing-edge.com

Can anyone comment about the history of the "sno" Snobol interpreter that seems to exist in V4 (man page in the archives gives 2/7/93 as the date) and some later Unix versions (Sys V, V6, etc.)? In the TUHS archives we have the V6 sources but they are remarkably comment- free. Was "sno" ever part of the build chain of any interesting utilities etc? I'm just generally curious about awk predecessors, if anyone wants to chime in with their favorite pre-awk string processing tools. Tim.
