Subject says it. I've got an old (well, 10+ years old) copy of Unixware
(pre-old-SCO; I think it's release 2.01 or 2.03) in a boxed set with
manuals, CDROMs, patch diskettes, etc. Is this of any use to TUHS or
someone else as a donation or is it "too recent"?
cheers, /David/

Does anyone know anything more about it than I do, which is that it was a
rebadged 4.3BSD for the RT platform? And stands for Academic Operating
System?

ftp.mayn.de used to serve the stuff, but it they switched servers,
and it looks as if their archives are still high&dry. Planetmirror
pleads amnesia.I grabbed a copy of mayn's coherent tree last April,
some 2GB tgz'd. This is the complete Coherent installation, in form
of a copy of .dd floppy images, and some additional pieces.
Unfortunately I don't have any FTP server set up anywhere, so do you,
by chance, have a place where I can drop it off?
BTW.. should anyboy's response get nuked by my smtpd, please respond

Hi all,
Does anybody know of a distribution of Mark William's Coherent
available on-line, or if someone has a distribution could they make a
copy for me. Ditto for Idris. I'm particularly interested in their
header files, and how closely they match the contemporary Unix headers.
Thanks,
Warren

This is actually exactly what I have done. The emulator is
available here:

I just thought of a reason _why_ Caldera was unable to clarify the status of
System III - if you look at the documents on Groklaw.net,
http://www.groklaw.net/staticpages/index.php?page=legal-docs
one of them's a document between Novell and SCO Original, where the System V
releases are enumerated. Another is a similar document which mentions the
Ancient Unix and their manuals as being part of the deal.
Neither document that I can recall, mentions anything about System III - and
apparently Warren Toomey had to supply them with that, so it would appear
that System III is - quite literally - unclaimed by anyone, apart from its
copyright notices, and thus - since neither The SCO Group nor Novell has laid
claim to it in their copyright battle - it could well be considered Public
Domain.
Just a thought, and don't take my word for it.
