On 23 March 2002 Martin Crehan started a thread on this list, including a cite to this Slashdot posting: http://slashdot.org/ comments.pl?sid=29920&cid=3213453 I would link to the thread, but the search seems broken (http:// minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/pups.cgi). Apart from the PDP-11 version mentioned there, I am also aware of the Lisa XENIX port (68K). --T > > -aw > _______________________________________________ > PUPS mailing list > PUPS at minnie.tuhs.org > http://minnie.tuhs.org/mailman/listinfo/pups
