Hi folks,
In my quest to find earlier versions of APL\11 I have come across
something called yale-apl, which is most likely from the Unix version
6 era. I can run Unix v6 under simh but I am at a loss on how to
transfer binary or even text files into it. I have been able to
transfer files from a Unix v7 without difficulty but v6 seems to be
quite different. There is no tar utility in v6.
It has been a _very_ long time
since I played with V6, but I seem to
remember dump and restor existing - you might be able to start there.
You might be able to use V7 dump under simh to create a tape image, then
restor it under V7...
It is also barely possible that you could get gkermit running...
