I would also love to find a way to read 9 track tapes back in. Everyone
has ditched the hardware. I have several 4BSD and System V tapes as
well as personal tapes I'd love to read in. (Anyone remember IBM
"picture tapes"?)

SP&E published a paper by Don Knuth
discussing all the many bugs found
in TeX, including some statistical analysis.

"The Errors of TeX" was an excellent
article.
Thanks for the pointer; it sounds like a great paper, but alas the only
copies I could fine online were behind paywalls.

btw. there is a v6 version of fsck floating
around.
Yes, we had it at MIT.
I'm wonder if I can find a readable copy.
As I've mentioned, I have this goal of putting the MIT Unix (the kernel was
basically PWB1, with a host of new applications) sources online.
I have recently discovered (in my basement!) two sets of full dump tapes
(1/2" magtape) of what I think are the whole filesystem, so if I can find a
way to get them read, we'll have the V6 fsck - and much more besides (such
as a TCP/IP for V6). So I think you may soon get your wish!
