Has anyone gotten their "Antique Source Code License" yet? I sent in my signed contract to the SCO 3/11/98, but I haven't heard a thing.

I will probably just send you a list of the peoples' names and addresses by postal mail. Hope that's not too primitive. I asked if he could send me the list via PGP email, but he countered that they were all on paper, and he didn't have the time to send me the list. However, he did say: I will just drop them into a DHL or similar express shipment thing. Hopefully in a day or two. Now, I'm not sure if this means: + he will ship the licenses in a day or two, + he will ship me the list in a day or two, + it will only take a day or two for the list to reach me. However, the worst-case scenario is that the licenses will be posted in a day or two, and they should reach you quickly after that. I checked my bank account, and SCO removed $100 on the 24th March. I take this to indicate that I am now licensed. I don't know if this is of much help, though. I am waiting in anticipation, as we all are. BTW First person to announce their license in the mailing list wins. Wins what, I haven't a clue ;-) Warren Received: (from major@localhost) by minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au (8.8.5/8.8.5) id PAA10899 for pups-liszt; Thu, 2 Apr 1998 15:35:13 +1000 (EST) X-Authentication-Warning: minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au: major set sender to owner-pups(a)minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au using -f Received: from henry.cs.adfa.oz.au (henry.cs.adfa.oz.au [131.236.21.158]) by minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id PAA10894 for <pups(a)minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au>; Thu, 2 Apr 1998 15:35:09 +1000 (EST) Received: (from wkt@localhost) by henry.cs.adfa.oz.au (8.7.5/8.7.3) id PAA12273 for pups(a)minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au; Thu, 2 Apr 1998 15:36:04 +1000 (EST) From: Warren Toomey <wkt(a)henry.cs.adfa.oz.au> Message-Id: <199804020536.PAA12273(a)henry.cs.adfa.oz.au> Subject: Early DEC support for UNIX?

With the maintenance technicians we made the agreement that the hardware was OK, when their test programs did not produce error messages. At the end of 1983 we found out that within Digital there was a very small group which distributed Unix V7 with support and drivers for all PDP 11 models and devices. Sources were distributed freely to all source licensees of Bell labs. From then on we have used that distribution. Does anybody know what `distribution from within Digital' is being referred to here, and how I can get my hands on it, for the archive. Is this an early Ultrix? I've mailed the maintainer of the web page in question for more information.
