Hello
I have been doing a several years effort to save (very) old software for
posterity, researchers, students. Mostly early 90s UNIXes, SunOS, Solaris,
DG-UX, HP-UX, AIX, DEC-UNIX, some VMS software even. I uploaded some things
to the Archive, and elsewhere, but I would rather get this off my
shoulders, for mortality affects us all. This vanishing would be a loss,
with many of these things are nowhere to be found anymore.
I tried contacting the admin(?) bear at typewritten dot org, offering a
few things for archiving, without results. Do any of the users here have
any means to contact the admin there? I would very much like to access some
of the UNIXes software there, and would gladly offer a quid pro quo.
Similarly, if you have any software for Solaris (2.6, earlier) and other
UNIXes, regardless of licensing status, I would be very much interested.
Some things probably are lost forever though,
such as Proliant PL/I,
VisualWorks 2.5, Tibco S-PLUS, Harlequin WebWorks and such.
Thanks in advance, and all the best
Seb.
