[TUHS] Re: Software written in B

Angelo, do you mind if I mirror these disassembles into my https://gitlab.com/segaloco/v2src repository? That's where I'm (very slowly) accumulating the results of mt own disassembly efforts on the V2 binaries. Bonus points if you raise a PR, but I can make sure you get a shout-out in the Readme or something otherwise. Thanks for digging deeper where I haven't found the time. - Matt G. ------- Original Message ------- On Wednesday, June 14th, 2023 at 1:03 PM, Angelo Papenhoff <aap(a)papnet.eu> wrote: > After writing this mail I actually started reversing the B binaries. > You can find them here: http://squoze.net/B/programs/ > > I did find some differences in versions of the B runtime and library. > Especially interesting was an implementation of the cksto routine > in su and stty that checks whether an address in an assignment is in a > reasonable range ("LV out of range" error if not) > > What is perhaps interesting historically is that the su binary contains > a hardcoded password ^Q^R^S^T, which is not printable for a good reason: > it is given as a command line argument. > > I will hopefully continue with this in the next time (if, goto, mail and > glob are left). > > Best, > aap
