Cromemco Software - what to do with it?

Sent this a few days ago & haven't seen it appear on the list for some reason; apologies if I'm duplicating. m ------- Start of forwarded message ------- Subject: Cromemco Software - what to do with it? From: mhstein at canada.com Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2005 00:46:26 -0800 (PST) To: cctalk at classiccmp.org I've been cleaning up the hard disks in my Cromemco systems in preparation for getting rid of them (no, they're not available at this time), and I have a question: There are numerous systems out there, and Herb and Howard et al are doing a great job of archiving the documentation, but what about the software? Is anybody archiving the various versions of CDOS, Cromix & Unix, and the languages & applications? For that matter, is there any point? I don't see many people writing Cobol or Fortran programs to run on a System 3... So, any ideas what to do with it? (no obscene suggestions, please!) BTW, any news about what happened with Don Maslin's collection? mike
