This file contains a list of major updates to the Unix Archive since the release of the SCO licenses on the 10th March 1998. Oct 17 2002 ----------- Applications/Ritter_Vi/README says: Gunnar Ritter has set up his own web site to track the developments of his port of the original vi to modern systems. You can find it at: http://ex-vi.berlios.de/ Applications/Portable_CC/README says: Al Kossow sent in these versions of the portable C compiler for the 8086, Z8000, and 68000 done by MIT's Laboratory for Computer Science. Other/V6on286 contains a port of 6th Edition UNIX to the 80286 PC platform. The various 2.9BSD variants have now been collected into the directory PDP-11/Distributions/ucb/2.9-derivatives. Documentation/Papers/lions_PCCpass2_jun1979.pdf contains a paper written by John Lions about the second pass of the Portable C Compiler. Jan 25 2002 ----------- Caldera have released a BSD license for 1st to 7th Editions plus 32V. I have quickly removed all the password restrictions on ftp, http and rsync, and tried to rewrite the various docs which mentioned the SCO license and authorised access. Jun 27 2000 ----------- The archive has been renamed from the PUPS Archive to the Unix Archive, and has been rearranged into categories. May 26 2000 ----------- Tom Burnett has contributed a System 3 ported to a Z8000 platform (Plexis) in Other/Distributions/Plexis_Sys3. Alexey Chupahin has contributed a modified 7th Edition UNIX system which has had some Y2K bug fixes applied, in PDP-11/Bug_Fixes/7th_Edition_Y2K. Norman Wilson has contributed all or part of Ultrix-32M versions 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 in VAX//Distributions/dec/Ultrix-32M Jan 20 2000 ----------- Tim Shoppa has found & recovered the tapes from the following Usenix conferences: 1983, 1987, 1988 and 1989. Their contents are now in Applications/Shoppa_Tapes in the archive. Dennis Ritchie has sent in two DECtape images, s1-bits and s2-bits. s2-bits dates from 1972, and contains several 1st Edition binaries and the binaries of an early C compiler. s1-bits is part of a disk image, but I've been able to recover some of its contents: some application source in both assembly and C. It seems to date from early 1973. Both tapes are in PDD-11/Distributions/research/1972_stuff in the archive. By using the C compiler binaries on s2-bits, I've been able to recompile the two primeval C compilers whose source is in Applications/Early_C_Compilers and which are described by Dennis on his web page at http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/dmr/primevalC.html Most recently, Dennis has also unearthed the on-line manual pages for 3rd and 4th Edition UNIX. They are in PDP-11/Distributions/research/Dennis_v3 and Distributions/research/Dennis_v3, respectively. Aug 3 1999 ----------- Ken Wellsch has contributed a partial vesion of 2.9BSD for the Pro 350/380 in PDP-11/Distributions/ucb/2.9bsd4pro350-kcwellsc. Tim Shoppa has donated the tapes distributed at the 1980 and 1981 USENIX conferences in Applications/Shoppa_Tapes. Jan 27 1999 ----------- There have been several 4BSD additions: new versions from the Quasijarus project, a modified 4.3BSD from the Uni of Wisconsin, and a copy of 4.3BSD revision 2 We now have an early version of the 3rd Edition kernel source, in C. There are some new tape manipulation tools. There is also a new version of the Apout PDP-11 usermode emulator. Nov 17 1998 ----------- 4BSD/Distributions now has boot tapes for 4.3-reno/Vax and 4.3-tahoe/CCI. Sep 27 1998 ----------- Now that Kirk McKusick has released the 4CD set of CSRG releases, people have been asking for boot tapes to actually install the 4BSD releases. I've augmented the PUPS Archive with the directory 4BSD/Distributions. Per Andersson has donated a set of 4.2BSD tape images, which are in the above directory. Steven Schultz has also sent in some notes explaining how to get 4.3BSD installed on a uVax. Sep 19 1998 ----------- A copy of the Software Tools (in C and Ratfor) has been donated by Debbie Scherrer, with the tape being read by Tim Shoppa. It is located in Applications/Software_Tools. The README says: This is the "Software Tools for Unix 4.1BSD" distribution tape. June 1998 --------- Wilko Bulte sent in a copy of the Ultrix 3.1 installation tape. May 1 1998 ----------- A new version of Bob Supnik's PDP-11 emulator has been added. System III for the PDP-11 has been donated by Kirk McKusick. Apr 20 1998 ----------- A new version of the P11 PDP-11 emulator from Begemot has been added, as well as 2.10.1BSD from Steven Schultz. The first CDs can now be burned from the on-line PUPS Archive. Apr 15 1998 ----------- A full distribution of V7M, Release 2.1, has been donated by Jean Huens. This replaces the v7m.tar.gz tarball, which apparently was just the patches to get virgin V7 to V7M. The mythical `50 bugs' tape, described in Peter Salus' book `A Quarter Century of UNIX' has been found lurking in the PUPS Archive. You can find it in Applications/Spencer_Tapes/unsw3.tar.gz as the file usr/sys/v6unix/unix_changes.
