Hi all!!!
While educating people some unix stuff (at time, spare from work as
admin), I have a need for making some simple UNIX-like environment for
people to try to type some simple commands. Now I need to make it possible
to do it remotely. Are there any emulators, that are capable to run V5/6/7
or (better) 4.2BSD, and accessible by telnet or something like that?
Additional thing I need is vi, any emulator that is capable of
running vi could make me happy!!!
Emulation is needed because of unlimited virtualization possibility,
unlimited variation of configurations, and, of course, zero time for
recover after root errors. simh runs fast 60 instances on P233.
But now I need vi :(
Thanks a lot!

Hi Chris,
The most curious one is a "bad interpreter" one. This is what I get
along with the permissions moan. But curiously if I run it sh filename
then all works.
It is as though there is some global shell permissions set up that is
munged.

Done that. 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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

Good article in the June 10th issue of the Economist

caught it sooner, but I'm a little behind in my
reading).
