I have ALL the binaries - and have generated the system successfully for both my 11/34C and my 11/83. I wanted to make sure that the docs and binaries matched, that the product was complete, etc. I intend to write up a simplified guide on installing TSX-Plus - as it can be a bear to install from the detailed docs. (The docs are excellent - but one has to wade through a LOT of material to get it up the first time). I also have preserved/found the licensing key program, a complete accounting system (including almost all sources), etc., etc. All this stuff will be released IN TIME. I'm not clear on what you're suggesting here - nothing has changed in principle of what I intended to do. The only changes from my original mission, which was to release TSX-Plus binaries, is: 1) I was able to obtains the source listings and get written permission to have them released to the public. Al scanned them and they are up on bitsavers.org; 2) From the scans we MAY be "getting" the sources. It's a difficult process - OCR scan, create sources from the listings, assemble the sources to check their quality. The release of the binaries is NOT dependent on any of the "changes". PLEASE do not contact S&H about this project. They have bent over backwards to be cooperative and released all of the above material to me after much consideration (the negotiations took months) and determination of HOW they wanted everything handled, etc. Regards, Lyle -- Lyle Bickley Bickley Consulting West Inc.
