Hi all, I've received another e-mail from Alexey about some Y2K software for Venix and 2BSD. He's also given me a copy of a Russian UNIX called Demos. This is based on something like V7M, but Alexey says that its better than Venix. I've only got a tar file with bins & src, no disk images. Anyone with a pro350 or 380 interested in looking at this? Anyway, here's his latest e-mail and Date.c. Warren From: Alexey Chupahin <achupahi(a)uic.rsu.ru> Hello Warren, I just receive letter from John Rosenberg. He recommended me to resend date2 program. May be, my previous letter didn't go to you, but to John? I just try to resend you date2. The Date2 is good for first. Now I'm hacking RT-11 DIR (analogue ls in Unix :-), unlike to Unix one, DIR is very bad for Y2k.) program with system library SYSLIB.OBJ. When I finish it, I just try to test and fix BSD system. Unfortunatly, I haven't any documents described BSD library with utilites to see what subroutines/utilites to be needed to fix. May be, I can find it on the Web? But I have documentation for Inmos (Russian version7). I use it to see in first time. Unlike to poor (but very good!) standard Version 7, Russian one has 2 screen editors, including vi, and one Russian multiscreen edit RED, editor like small MSWord for Pro, screen menu-making/control programs and library, graphic, bisness programs and libraries for Pro. Unfortunatly, I have only documentation, no any distributive... When I finish BSD ( I hope to will finish it soon ) I'll just go to Unix7 and 6. I've got it from your site yet, Version 7 is booted Ok... May be, vi from BSD still works in Unix7? Ok... Demos was very good-organized Unix for Pro-350/380... more good then Inmos, how I'm hear... Unfortunatly, I'm not rich student, but I wish to small used Alpha for a long time. I find ready to use Multia in Moscow for 450$. In Russia we have a nearly 18$ per month (Crysis :-( ) I have 360$ yet. May be, anybody can help me for 90$... ;-) regards, Alex
