I am in contact with someone that is looking for UNICOS system sources from (1984 to April 1986). Does anyone have or know where to locate any such sources? -- Maciek (macbiesz(a)optonline.net)

Re: Fwd: Helping in the battle against SCO

by Roger Willcocks

Here's yet another version of the malloc routines: k_malloc/k_mfree in http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/informatik/osg/lehre/vorl_BS.SRC/malloc.c I wonder where these routines were 'borrowed' from? The code appears to be intermediate between 32V and SVR4, containing assertions and using mapstart/mapsize, but without spl calls. -- Roger

Re: [TUHS] Fwd: Helping in the battle against SCO

by norman＠nose.cs.utoronto.ca

I don't see how any diffing we do will make any difference `in the battle against SCO.' If we find cases in which Linux has incorporated System V licensed code, that will certainly be meaningful; but if, as seems likely, we don't, SCO can just say their tools are better than hours. And besides, it is SCO who have brought the complaint, so both legally and ethically it's up to SCO to prove the case, not up to others to disprove it, no matter what fearsome roars SCO emit. Comparisons done by others are certainly interesting, and I don't want to discourage anyone from doing them; just don't expect it to make any difference to the lawyers. (Not that I'm one, of course.)

Ancient Mosix patches

by Sven Dehmlow

Hi, I'm searching for patches form: - "UNIX with Satellite Processors" for Unix 6th Edition - "MOS" for Unix 7th Edition - "NSMOS" for AT&T Unix system V release 2 and all other ancient Mosix Versions (yes, the Mosix project changed it's name several times). Any hints? Sven -- "Security is just a state of mind"

Fwd: Helping in the battle against SCO

by Matthew Mastracci

What about comparing SVR1/2 to 2.4.x? SCO seems to be picking on the early 2.4.x codebase. This should also pick up the SGI code comments in the malloc() function that were recently publicized, though I'm not sure which version Linus removed the code from. Matt.

Fwd: Helping in the battle against SCO

by Warren Toomey

All, This e-mail below was prompted by an interview I gave about the SCO thing for an Australian paper: http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/09/09/1062902037394.html ----- Forwarded message from Ulrik Petersen <emdros(a)yahoo.dk> ----- Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2003 19:44:51 +0200 (CEST) From: Ulrik Petersen <emdros(a)yahoo.dk> Subject: Helping in the battle against SCO I saw a recent article in the Sydney Morning Herald in which a Dr. Warren Toomey (presumably you?) was quoted as saying that the TUHS has several members who have access to old copies of UNIX source code. Please ask these people to try out one of the three "shredders" which can compare sourcecode from Linux with other sourcecode, and, if possible, analyze and publish the results. One of these shredders is written by Eric S. Raymond. Here is a link to an article in which he calls for action by people with access to UNIX sourcecode: http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,4149,1257617,00.asp The program itself can be found here: http://www.catb.org/~esr/comparator/ Regards, Ulrik Petersen, Denmark ----- End forwarded message ----- Anyway, I think it's a good idea, so I'd like to hear from people who have access to recent AT&T code. My GPG and PGP keys are at http://minnie.tuhs.org/warren.html and on most keyservers if you so wish to use them. Thanks, Warren

It's a bit rough, but it works. I can put them up somewhere if anyone is interested. --rp

SIMH compilation problems

by Maciek Bieszczad

I was having some problems compiling SIMH on FreeBSD. The reason is, all the sources have stray MS-DOS carriage returns (^M), while UNIX only uses line-feeds (^J). This causes GCC to misread some of the code. I suggest you convert the sources to UNIX text format. Once I correct all that, the code compiles fine for me. BTW, why is networking not supported on FreeBSD? Does the pcap driver not work? -- Maciek (macbiesz(a)optonline.net)

V7 on i386?

by masouds＠stormbird.org

Hello, I was looking through mailing list archives for any attempts of porting UNIX V7 to i386. I saw a discussion of it at http://minnie.tuhs.org/pipermail/tuhs/2002-January/000071.html where Some brave soul tries to port V6 to i386; Does anyone know whether or not anything came out of it? cheers, Masoud PS: needless to say, I've recently joined this mailing list.
