Hi all --
I've been working on getting a Xerox 1186 workstation up and running again,
using the floppy images on Bitsavers. I have the "Medley" Interlisp-D
software installed (after writing out and installing from ~25 floppies) and
running and I'm attempting to load in the related libraries and software
(another 10-20 floppies or so). Some of these libraries have dependencies
on various font files, which I do not seem to have and haven't been able to
track down. I see vague references in the documentation to a floppy disk
set labeled "Display Fonts" but these do not appear to be on Bitsavers.
From writing out a few floppies and looking at their contents on the 1186, I
do not believe that these have any relationship to the Viewpoint Font disks
(though if anyone knows differently, do let me know).
Anyone out there have any experience with this? Anyone happen to have these
floppies and/or images of them?
I wonder if the poster of this message --
http://www.sunhelp.org/pipermail/rescue/2012-January/132294.html --
would have them. It's a bit of an old post, but maybe he still uses that
email and has them.
Thanks as always,
Josh
