I have here a Doctor Who book which takes place during the early part of the computer revolution, about the time the whole of what's discussed here happened. The people concerned in the book have machines running UNIX. Some of these are indeed PDP-11s and there are also a few DG Eclipses. Now the question: How difficult would it to port UNIX V7 from the usual machine, probably a PDP-11/43 (But I might be wrong about the model!) to a DG Eclipse? Naturally since I don't have physical hardware here, the intended target would be a SIMH DG virtual Eclipse (Or even a Nova 4) and the one doing all the work would be a SIMH PDP-11. -- Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon at worldnet.att.net "The Force will be with you.

This is one of the novels that BBC Press is presenting to the many fans. It takes place during the 1980s, which is when the PDP-11 design was king, and the DG Nova-4 and Eclipse (MVIII I think) was trying to unseat it. It's also an interesting exploration into the hacking community that was just beginning to emerge and still exists today, with the crackers taking over from the hackers, and hackers doing what they do best; spend all day and sometimes all night working on a problem. Now if anyone actually wants the title and year it came out, please ask off list. As I said before, it features the Sixth Doctor. I think I know which one you mean, I do know there was a mini involved in "Inferno" which did feature Jon Pertwee. Which naturally isn't the one you're thinking of. And now back to our regularly scheduled discussions and arguments. -- Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon at worldnet.att.net "The Force will be with you. Always."

You need to put file marks between everything logically 'dd'-ed In the .tap format, file marks are four bytes of 0. End of tape should have two sets of file marks (eight bytes of 0) FWIW, I sent warren a .tap image of Ultrix 2.0. Never heard anything from him about it.

It is here: http://www.tuhs.org/Archive/4BSD/Distributions/4.2BSD/ You will need to download the "usr.tar.gz" archive, and extract these files from it: games/lib/dungeon games/lib/doverlay games/lib/dtext.dat games/lib/dindex.dat The file "games/lib/compat" is the compatibility mode "stub", that can run a binary in PDP-11 compatibility mode, does system call emulation (it looks like, at one time, it even supported running RT-11 binaries), and stuff like that. It actually uses the PDP-11 compatibility mode of the VAX (i.e., it is not a PDP-11 emulator), so it only works on VAXen that have compatibility mode. Anyway, I suspect that if you take the binaries I've mentioned above, and drop them into your V7 filesystem under /usr (so that the files end up in /usr/games/lib), it may simply run. Good luck! --Pat.
