Does anyone from here have scans or originals of
program documents
from DECUS Catalogs for PDP software from the 60's and 70's? The
IGDA-Preservation SIG is trying to track down dates of publication for
some of the game software listed.
Paul Dundas has many chunks of scans from DECUS stuff including some of the original paper
documentation. I was very impressed when poking around his collection and found references
to SCURT. It was like Homer finding the picture of himself as "Mr. Sparkle" on
the Japanese detergent box :-)
All of the PDP-10 10-LIB and 20-LIB tapes are online at http://pdp-10.trailing-edge.com/,
much of the low numbered stuff actually comes from PDP-6's. Electronic documentation
is often there. In many cases you can trust the timestamp on the tape listings.
The PDP-11 SIG tapes are online at ftp://ftp.trailing-edge.com/pub/ , by the point
something hit a SIG tape it usually has the documentation included as an electronic file.
