m68k SVR2 on Perq (was: web site detailing Apple's mc68k UNIX, A/UX)

In fact I was looking for someone who would appreciate this: #ifdef PYTHON Cheers, Eric

[pups] E11 and versions and I/O devices

by Gregg C Levine

Hello from Gregg C Levine I've got a bundle of questions regarding E11, and its range of I/O devices. Here goes: 1) Is anyone running the DOS/Windows version with the Display Register device attached to a LPT port? Where did they obtain the LED devices for it? 2) How did they configure its interpretation of the PDP-11 serial devices? 3) Or the network connections? Favorite Ethernet cards as well. And last but not least: 4)Which printer arrangement was used? Serial? Even a parallel solution? To be honest I haven't seen any action on both lists with in the past number of days, so I thought I'd post something new to the PUPS list, and give it something to chew on. ------------------- Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon(a)worldnet.att.net ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."

cvsweb for BSD

by Kenneth Stailey

Hi, I just thought of a neat idea. Put old versions of BSD source code into a CVS archive using "cvs import" and then run a CVSWEB site with that. Possibly converting SCCS to RCS to CVS. I don't know how far back my BSD SCCS goes. Maybe a smaller project to CVS 4.3BSD-tahoe to Quasijarus first. One of the big problems is that they move files all over the place as BSD developed and CVS doen't work too elegantly with those kind of changes. Maybe subversion not CVS but I've yet to do anything with subversion. Does anything like this already exist? Thanks, Ken __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Yes, neither SCCS nor RCS nor CVS tracks file moves, and for this single reason an SCCS/RCS/CVS tree is not sufficient by itself to act as a complete BSD history tree. See this page for an idea of what I had to go through: http://ifctfvax.Harhan.ORG/Quasijarus/sccs.html MS

SVR4-MP "ps -z" and "ps -Z"

by Albert Cahalan

I'm seeking info about the SVR4-MP ps options -z and -Z, as used for mandatory access control. This is so that they can be implemented for Linux. Alternately, are there more-common ways to handle this security data or more-common usage of the -z and -Z options? I could use some example output. All "trusted" high-security systems are of interest.

Hmmm, try Googling for /interests "unix history" australia latex/ :-) You wouldn't know, off-hand, whether 'Leo' actually rekeyed the content ? -- Roger

v6 source

by Bill Cunningham

I have that source tarball for v6. It's very nice. The only trouble is it will not compile that's for sure and I don't have enough experience with assembly to even look at the labels and mnemonics. It's nice to look at and think this once worked. Bill

Re: Lions' book

by Norman Wilson

I can cite a third edition that existed inside Bell Labs at one point: white covers, with the latter-day AT&T Bell Laboratories name and deathstar logo; AT&T BELL LABORATORIES PROPRIETARY (RESTRICTED) printed across the bottom of every page. The title page also says Use pursuant to G.E.I. 2.2. Instead of `this document may contain information covered by one or more licenses,' there is a paragraph declaring that `This document is restricted to authorized AT&T employees who have a job-related need to know, and holders of a license for the UNIX* Operating System, Level Six, from AT&T Technologies, Inc., subject to the restrictions stated in such license.' And of course the footnote credits the trademark to AT&T Bell Laboratories. The use of the deathstar and the modern company name suggest these were printed post-divestiture, i.e. no earlier than 1984. Andrew Hume came across a few copies of this edition sametime in the late 1980s. I think they came from a load of stuff about to be thrown out by Judy Macor, who used to be the person who handled license paperwork and sent out tapes. For some reason my copy has a paper clip on the page where `You are not expected to understand this' appears. Norman Wilson Toronto ON
