Re: [TUHS] LoC now involved with saving digital history

by Robertdkeys＠aol.com

Maybe it might be played from the angle that a US mirror could be granted funds in some manner, to complement the down under repository. Just a wild thought... Bob Keys

random(3) definition

by Peter Jeremy

Does anyone here know why the BSD random(3) is defined to return a positive int (31 bits) rather than a full 32 bits of pseudo-entropy? (This came up is a discussion comparing random(3) with arc4random(3) in another list). Peter

Tim Shoppa's V6 distribution

by Gregg C Levine

Hello from Gregg C Levine Has anyone ever gotten Tim Shoppa's V6 distribution to work, under any version of Simh? Theoretically it should be possible, but I haven't a clew, as to how to do so. Any suggestions? I'll leave the networking issues alone for the moment. Gregg C Levine drwho8(a)worldnet.att.net "This signature owns a house on Belsavis."

[pups] (no subject)

by Christos Papachristou

I would like to do a bad sector scan on a RD52 connected to a RQDX1 (The machine is a pdp11/73 without OS) prior to installing BSD2.11.Is there a standalone program like zrqch0(only for RQDX3) that can be downloaded directly to the pdp via vtserver and recognizes the RQDX1 , i.e. a version of zrqb or something similar?

Wild long shot.... I used to write grants for this kind of thing. Find out more info and point me to where the granting info is and lets make a collective grunt to see if something is possible. Heck, all kinds of funds are available if you submit the right kinds of proposals. Yeah, I know, it is a pipedream, but.....(:+}}... Bob Keys (stirring the history pot, gently.....)

Hello fron Gregg C Levine Um no. I was thinking of V7, of the original UNIX. As it happens, I am still not comfortable with the earlier versions of BSD. So, I am interested in getting V7, or V6 to work via a networked environment. And yes, I have seen your file, and the read me for it. Gregg C Levine drwho8(a)worldnet.att.net "Oh my!"
