This is a distribution package of ancient UNIX 7th Edition together with a PDP-11 simulator and instructions how to get things running.
This package relies totally on the works of others:
- the creators of UNIX, of course
- Keith Bostic, who supplied an original 7th Edition tape
- PUPS, the PDP Unix Preservation Society, for archiving this tape
- Caldera, for granting a free license for ancient UNIXes
- DEC (where the famous PDP hardware was built)
- Robert M. Supnik, who wrote the excellent PDP simulator(s)
And these are the few things I added:
- HOWTO file (description how to proceed)
- mktape utility (converts the tape files for use with the simulator)
- simulator configuration scripts
- file extractor (copies files from the simulated disk to the host)
