He was surprised to learn that the copy of 4.1 in his CSRG archive is not, in fact, 4.1. Also he says that the contents of the existing CSRG archive disks are all he has; apparently the dumps of old distribution tapes to disk were hastily done on the way out the door as CSRG was being shut down. He suggested I inquire with TUHS for a copy, so evidently he does not read this list. His other suggestion was to reconstruct from SCCS files. I think at this point the preservation community has essentially all the bits from tape 1 of the 7/10/81 release (in somewhat scattered form needing to be reassembled into a usable distribution tape image). The contents of tape 2 seem to be altogether lost (unless someone is able to recover it from surviving media).
