You can find them in the Distributions/4bsd/thirdparty/UWisc4.3 directory in the PUPS archive. I haven't uploaded James' own changed /usr/src yet, will probably do it later at night.

To: pups at minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au (Unix Heritage Society) Date: Tue, 19 Jan 1999 13:08:22 +1100 (EST) Reply-To: wkt at cs.adfa.oz.au X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL43 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-pups at minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au Precedence: bulk Hi all, I recently approached the IEEE Annals of Computing History journal to see if they would be interested in a paper on our efforts to find and preserve the old versions of Unix. They said yes, so I was wondering if anybody might want to be co-author. This is what I suggested: > I'd like to write an article which describes the efforts to find and > preserve historical material which is related to UNIX. This includes > finding tapes, reading them, decoding their formats etc. > > The article would also discuss the mechanisms available for running > these old UNIX systems: by using old hardware (and the difficulties > of maintaining such equipment), by using software emulators (and > possibly a discussion of what they provide). > > In other words, the actual history of UNIX and its influence would not > be covered, but the `archaeology' and preservation of artifacts from > the early days of UNIX would be. Given that there are people on the list who deal with old hardware, reading ancient tapes, etc., I thought they might like to add some input to the paper. I think the paper size is limited to around 25-30 pages, and has be formal in tone. If anybody has any suggestions as to what should go in (or even wants to write a section), then I would welcome some email! Cheers all, Warren P.S I'm giving a similar, but much more informal, paper at a local conference next month.
