Hi all, Several new things have arrived in the PUPS Archive, so I thought I'd pass on details of what and where. Tim Shoppa has found & recovered the tapes from the following Usenix conferences: 1983, 1987, 1988 and 1989. Their contents are now in Applications/Shoppa_Tapes in the archive. Dennis Ritchie has sent in two DECtape images, s1-bits and s2-bits. s2-bits dates from 1972, and contains several 1st Edition binaries and the binaries of an early C compiler. s1-bits is part of a disk image, but I've been able to recover some of its contents: some application source in both assembly and C. It seems to date from early 1973. Both tapes are in Distributions/research/1972_stuff in the archive. By using the C compiler binaries on s2-bits, I've been able to recompile the two primeval C compilers whose source is in Applications/Early_C_Compilers and which are described by Dennis on his web page at http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/dmr/primevalC.html Most recently, Dennis has also unearthed the on-line manual pages for 3rd and 4th Edition UNIX. They are in Distributions/research/Dennis_v3 and Distributions/research/Dennis_v3, respectively. It still looks like all kernel code before 5th Edition is gone, except for the nsys kernel code in Distributions/research/Dennis_v3 and a few bits on paper that Dennis has.
