- Hi Ron,
- I mentioned to you at USENIX that there is a hope that
- we might be able to free up the old UNIX Draw package and give it to
- the PUPS folks. Dennis Ritchie suggested we might try to take the
- approach that it was part of the V7 intellectual property that AT&T
- sold to Novell, who in turn sold it to SCO (and you folks are now
- selling to Caldera). Anyway before we get another company involved, I'd
- love to see if we can get path to output cleared up.
-
- My part of the bargain as to see if I could recover the
- bits. Well, I was able to get my hands (temporarily) on a tri-density
- 9-track and I have found a distribution dated May 6, 1981 which maps to
- the 3rd version of the system. And I have read the tape!! It turns
- out, I may know of a later version but it's not clear that we can
- recover those bits (although I'm still trying). I believe the version
- I found is post Belle and Greg Chesson and my hacking of the Tek41xx
- terminals. The other version I know about is a copy that was around
- Whippany and it may have some later updates - but again I do not have
- access to that tape at the moment and the media quality is unknown.
