Ultrix V4.20 sources and binaries

Hi everyone, A number of people have complained to me about not being able to unpack the tarball with Ultrix V4.20 sources that has been on my FTP site since May 2001. I have finally found the time to look into the problem and indeed the file was corrupt. Fortunately, I was able to read my old backup tapes (from Cleveland, OH, 1999-07-15) without any problems, and discovered to my great joy that this file was good on my Cleveland machine. (It apparently got corrupted in one of the turbulent moves from Cleveland to Dallas, TX and then to Orange County, CA. I don't have any idea how.) ivan.Harhan.ORG:/pub/UNIX/thirdparty/Ultrix-32/sources now contains *good* Ultrix V2.00 and V4.20 sources. (Be warned, though, that this machine resides in my cave which is connected to the outside world through a modem which usually connects at 31200 BPS, sometimes 28800. Feel free to set up a mirror.) For what it's worth, I have also put up my Ultrix V4.20 distribution tape images in /pub/UNIX/thirdparty/Ultrix-32/ult420vaxdist-tk50. They are quite incomplete, however, as when I had the tape in my hand (at CWRU in spring 1998) I was unable to read it entirely without errors. Therefore, the V4.00 tape images in /pub/UNIX/thirdparty/Ultrix-32/ult400vaxdist-tk50 will probably be more useful for most people. If you have the guts, install V4.00 and then recompile V4.20 from the sources! -- Michael Sokolov Programletarian Freedom Fighter International Free Computing Task Force Let the Source be with you Programletarians of the world, unite!
