All, we have a couple of new BSD-related additions to the Unix Archive.
Steven Schulz has made an installation tape of 2.11BSD which includes
all the patches up to patch level 457. It's available at:
https://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Distributions/UCB/2.11BSD_patch457/
Mike Haertel has done a great job of reconstructing the September 1, 1981
release of 4.1BSD. His work is now available at:
https://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Distributions/UCB/4.1BSD-19810901-reconstructe…
Cheers & thanks to both Steven and Mike,
Warren

This is really great work, and I'm so glad that it's being done. The
4.1BSD reconstruction especially is very well documented.

Many thanks for putting this together, Steven and Mike!
Since I'm still running real hardware, do you think you could also
post the actual 2.11bsd files to the archive? -- i.e. boot, disklabel,
mkfs, restor, icheck, root.dump, and the three tarballs?
I'm having quite an expenditure here trying to disassemble the .tap file..
thx

I agree that it makes sense to post the source files. In the meantime,
rawtap ( https://github.com/simh/simtools/tree/master/extracters/rawtap )
does what you want; "rawtap -e tape0" will extract the individual files
from that 2.11BSD tape image.
