Does anyone have scanned copies of early Lions
commentary? (Not the 2000
printing, unless it looks identical, please let me know.)
I got copied of the cover and front page off-list. Thank you!
I will try to share my slides to this list by end of
this week. (I did
look at an early draft of Warner's slides, but didn't look at his final
slides nor watch his presentation yet. My presentation is from scratch
for now.)
I have a rough draft of around 63 slides. I have a maybe around 10 more
to add. It is too much content for an hour. Temporarily they are at
http://reedmedia.net/~reed/pres/.tmp-ibu4txv873cv/
pdf is 63 slides at ~5MB
(please don't distribute as I didn't yet cite sources in it nor have
re-use statements for some images I borrowed.)
J.tex is the source for the pdf.
The real source is the notes in the .data file there. (It is a mess.)
I plan to add a few photos of the earliest participants (as named in
the research edition manuals.)
I will add a few pages about Berkeley Unix up to 3BSD. (Later will do
one hour talk just on BSD.)
Few questions:
If using a 4.5 inch diameter roll of paper for the TTY, how did you cut
the paper into 11 inch pages? Or did you just let it roll up?
Anyone have a pointer to the photo of a Graphic Systems (GSI)
phototypesetter (1973)? (for troff v3 slide)
Was patent department that first used Unix on PDP-11 and roff (~1971)
same department that would later handle Unix licensing two years later?
(~1973)
Anyone have a pointer to a picture of GE 635 or 645 system? (for multics
slide)
