  Can you decompress the files in either of the two
4.3BSD-Quasijarus dists
 (in /4BSD/Distributions)? If so, how? The oldest versions that I have date
 back to a CD somebody cut me in mid-2000, and I can't decompress these files
 no matter what. 
The 4.3BSD-Quasijarus dists were compressed with a compression format
that's not compatible with either gzip nor old compress(1). Michael
Sokolov should be able to send in some notes on the tools required.

  Is there a set of 4.3BSD-Tahoe Vax distribution files
that's complete? 
Not that I know of.

  Finally, do you know of any 4.3BSD version that will
install and run on
 simh? Quasijarus and Tahoe of the Unix Archive are broken for me and Reno
 doesn't boot stand. Admittedly, I haven't tried the vanilla version yet.

Not that I know of. I'll cc this to the TUHS list and see if any other
people know the answer.

  If I manage to get a version of 4.3 working on simh,
I'll offer a turnkey
 system for download on my site. 
Yes, I'd appreciate that :-)

Thanks,
