Quasijarus Consortium members and TUHS/PUPS archive users,
Today Tim Shoppa has read the HP300 4.4BSD-Alpha distribution on a 9-track 6250
BPI tape and I have just put it in the archive. It is in
Distributions/4bsd/4.4BSD-Alpha
Of course we generally don't do 4.4BSD, but we do include it in the archival
and preservation section of our project.

Precedence: bulk
It may have already been discussed before, but here is
the list of
distirbutions on McKusick's "The CSRG Archives" 4-CD set:
1BSD, 2BSD, 3BSD, 2.9pucc, 2.10, 2.79, 2.8, 2.9, 4.0, 4.1, 4.1a, 4.1c.1,
4.1c.2, 4.1.snap, 4.2, 4.3, VM.snapshot.1, VM.snapshot.2, 4.3Tahoe,
4.3Reno, Net/1, Net/2, 4.4, 4.4-Lite1, 4.4-Lite2, and /usr/src SCCS
files.
That suggestion got me looking at "The Unix History Graphing Project" at
http://minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au/Unix_History/index.html
Is there a readable (meaning "not source code") history of *.*BSD
on the McCusick CD set? Most of the comment-type entries in the
Unix History Graphing Project for the BSD releases are pretty good,
but not real complete.
Do any of the Ultrix versions show up somewhere in the The Unix History
Graphing project? I know that they're offshoots from 2BSD and 4BSD, but
I wouldn't mind seeing someone annotate when they shot off and what
was changed/added/deleted. (Did I just volunteer?!?)
Another history question: Anyone know if there's any 2.9BSD-Seismo
distributions kicking around?
Tim.
