Hello from Gregg C Levine The web site links, that contain the SCO location, now point to a site on Caldera's site. I tried e-mailing someone via their contacts page, but so far to no avail. Has anyone on the list had any favorable response, regarding the ability to access their archives of the older versions of UNIX? As always, I am interested in the versions of UNIX that are targeted towards the PDP-11. Seriously though, has anyone actually gotten any feedback from Caldera? Warren if you want to comment, please do so, and I'll even accept a private one. Gregg C Levine drwho8(a)worldnet.att.net "How many floors does this TARDIS of yours have, anyway?"

Re: [TUHS] The Tim Shoppa distribution of V6

by Gregg C Levine

Hello from Gregg C Levine Thank you for your kind advice, Warren. However, I have tried most of the other members of that directory, and yes, it does work. I am curious about this one, because it appears to be decidely different then say an actual distribution of V6. I am also looking at the ones that came from the Research area.

The Tim Shoppa distribution of V6

by Gregg C Levine

Hello again from Gregg C Levine On the FTP site, is a a V6 distribution contributed by Tim Shoppa. It is created for the PDP-11/23, and there is a good readme.txt file that explains the different images, and how they got there. However, has anyone actually gotten the distribution to boot, using a version of Simh? A text file of commands to be fed to the Simh program would be a great help. I have mine, built using the MingW compiler, and this is version 2.9-10. Also, if anyone has gotten it to boot on real hardware, that would a be a great plus.

FW: Missing pack from the UnixV6 distros based at the TUH site

by Gregg C Levine

Hello from Gregg C Levine normally with Jedi Knight Computers Forwarded from a posting on news:alt.sys.pdp-11 that I made. Rather then repost the entire message in perpetuity I decided to forward the whole business to this list. As I am still deciding the best way to make use of the whole file tree, without an actual machine living here, I decided to download everything to this one, and then wait.
