Hi guys,
I'm working on a UNIX time-line database.
Its pretty basic atm - I've yet to hunt down the majority of SysV vendors
out there.
I'm currently looking for early releases, and V6/V7 offshoots (such as
PWB).
The data I'm looking for is vendor, strain, version, and date of release
(such as AIX, version 4.3.2, released 05/10/1998, SVR4, IBM etc)
Does anyone know of any sites that would give that kind of information for
the V6/V7 and earlier releases?
The database is currently at http://www.unixware.org.uk/test.php. There
isn't much to look at atm, I've yet to code the PHP interface, thought it
would be best to complete the database first though :-)
I'm hoping that, one day, it will contain a complete listing of all UNIX
releases, clones, and offshoots... well, I can dream ;-)
Regards,
Paul.

Hi guys,
I'm working on a UNIX time-line database.
Please have a look ay my existing time-line at:
http://minnie.tuhs.org/Unix_History/index.html
and also Eric Levenz's site at http://perso.wanadoo.fr/levenez/unix/
If you get any firm dates, especially with good references, can you
pass them on to me?!
Thanks,
Warren

Looking through that one again now :)

That site is the basis for what I have at the moment, though I hope to start
tracking down and mailing people from vendors to get definate dates and to
fill in the "gaps" pretty soon.

Yes, no problem at all. I'll forward any results from vendors or other
sources on to you :)
I have had something back from Caldera/SCO regarding XENIX , OpenServer, and
UnixWare - both time-line and licensing.
I dont think they're confirmed dates - I'd have to boot back into WinDOHze to
find out - I wish Lotus would write a "native" Notes client for UNIX.
There are a couple of "unknowns" on my list that I'd love to hear about -
namely LSX (V6-based), and MIPS OS (possibly BSD-based)... MERT, RT and TS
were on this list, but I see they're on the TUHS page :)

Paul

I suppose you already known this link :)
http://minnie.tuhs.org/TUHS/unixhist.html
not sure about this one (in french) :

*BSD aren't up to date. you'll find last announcements here :
http://clefevre.citeweb.net/freebsd/release.tgz
which is based on :
ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/release/
but up to date.
I'm hoping that, one day, it will contain a
complete listing of all UNIX
releases, clones, and offshoots... well, I can dream ;-)
