From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: jgevaryahu@hotmail.com (Jonathan Gevaryahu) Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2011 03:13:25 -0500 Subject: [TUHS] speak.c, or sometimes the bits are under your nose In-Reply-To: <20111208230820.GA8547@minnie.tuhs.org> References: <20111208230820.GA8547@minnie.tuhs.org> Message-ID: Here's speak.m, or rather, what little I could find of it. I believe there's some way documented in the speak.6 manpage of using TR or some command line parameters to speak.o to regenerate it from speak.v; only 3 sectors on disk survived of speak.m There's also a lot of other interesting stuff on disk here, like what looks like an early version or predecessor to red, the restricted ed, which doesn't seem to survive elsewhere except in a much modified and comments-translated-to-russian version here: http://code.google.com/p/retrobsd/source/browse/trunk/bin/re-src/r.wind.c?spec=svn251&r=251 (there's at least one sector of code missing, the beginning of the setupviewport function and the end of the comment block that precedes it, and I may be unintentionally merging two files in my current attempt) (or maybe it does survive on the tarred disk Al K. posted, which I still haven't figured out how to un-tar) There is also some stuff which looks like it was intended for children to use (as part of an exhibit at bell labs?), interacting with the pdp-11 using a green button and possibly speech using speak, to play hangman and other games. It includes kid friendly messages "Sorry, the turtle is either napping or too busy." "we have to stop the computer for a few minutes so that we can fix it. please stand by." etc. There's also the source code to SNOBOL III here, I don't know how fragmentary or complete. I could probably spend WEEKS figuring out all the stuff hidden on the disk image! -- Jonathan Gevaryahu AKA Lord Nightmare jgevaryahu at gmail.com jgevaryahu at hotmail.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
