From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: efton.collins@gmail.com (Efton Collins) Date: Wed, 8 Mar 2006 23:15:54 -0600 Subject: [pups] Figured some things out. In-Reply-To: <200603081802.23083.kelli217@gmail.com> References: <200603081802.23083.kelli217@gmail.com> Message-ID: I have a 7th Edition installation that includes the Berkeley package. The USB package includes over 60 commands, 'vi' and 'more' are among them. There's also a new 'man' that knows about more, so viewing man pages is done a page at a time. Other than installing the Berkeley bits, adding the RL02 driver to the kernel and rebuilding df, it should be a fairly close match to the original distribution tape. I usually use Bob Supnik's PDP11 emulator. The vanilla emulator works very well but it's a bit of a CPU hog. On Linux I've been able to tone that down by adding a nanosleep in the main processing loop. The distribution is on two 10 megabyte RL02 images. If you would like a copy of them, let me know and I'll make arrangements to make them available.
