Anyway, here it is. Warren Subject: RE: [TUHS] Getting UNIXs for 16-bit 8086 Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2003 14:39:11 -0700 Thread-Topic: [TUHS] Getting UNIXs for 16-bit 8086 From: "Ian King" <iking at windows.microsoft.com> To: "Natalia Portillo" <iosglpgc at teleline.es>, <tuhs at minnie.tuhs.org> I'm trying to discern the difference between a variant and a derivative. :-) Yes, we can trace back to the One True UNIX, but after things started branching it gets pretty confusing. It's possibly an indefensible taxonomy to distinguish a 'variant' (Coherent? XINU?) from a derivative (which would encompass any BSD forms, I guess). FWIW, a while back someone was selling XINU ported to 8086 (I recall buying a set of 5-1/4" source disks a thousand or so years ago). Is that more the sort of thing you're looking for? The current version(s) of XINU are available at http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/dec/xsoft.html, according to Google. -- Ian ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
