All, I got this e-mail from Holger a while back. Somehow it went into
a folder and has lurked unseen for way too long.
Does anybody know any more about PCS Unix and, if so, where should
I place the code that Holger has donated into the Unix Archive?
Many thanks, Warren

Hi Warren,
Some time ago I subscribed to the tuhs mailing list because of my
interests in Unix.
I have been working on regenerating the ancient PCS unix (see more
details in the README file in the attached archive).
Now it is in a state to publish the results. You may decide to put this
up on the TUHS website for reference.
PCS UNIX (dubbed MINUX) is special in the way that it is derived from
an SVR3.2 UNIX with the Newcastle connection integrated.
The Newcastle connection is an early attempt for multicomputer
networking; it provides a shared file system over the network, similar
to the later NFS.
To my knowledge, it is the first time that source for it are described
(beyond some publicly availablereasearch paper); I haven't yet managed
to find the original sources of this.
Regards
Holger Veit
