    I guess I'm a total anorak, but there was a
TNIX..

 [Tektronix Unix, running on a PDP11/23-based development sustem]  I own one of
those and BTW I am looking for software for it. The 
 hard
 disk needs a fsck(8) and this is a stand alone tool. Unfortunately I
 didn't get those floppies with the machine. 
 I _may_ have the distribution kit for my machine I will see what I 
 can find.

 ISTR fsck needed to be run quite often on the 8560. Not the world's 
 most stable system :-(

 But IIRC Tnix is simply AT&T Unix version 7 with bits taken out and 
 other bits added on, so fsck should be the standard Unix v7 fsck for the 
 PDP-11. I suppose that could be found elsewhere? Or would it have been 
 modified to suit Tek's hardware?
