The setup looks more complicated than the supnik emulator. So, I'll
look tomorrow. What I have noticed is, that there is bsdi and freeBSD
mentioned in p11conf but not linux. Does it require a BSD?

Matthias,
Here are some instructions on getting that RP disk image working
with the Begemot P11 2.3 emulator. These should supplement Greg's email.
Hey, I thought you were in freezing Tasmania :-)
Running the 2.11BSD RP disk image on the P11
Emulator
Ok, here's how I got P11-2.3 running. Firstly, I extracted the source code
for P11 from the tarball, and built the emulator in the extracted emu
directory. Note: you need lots of virtual memory to build instab.o.
With p11 built, I went into ../run, and copied the following files here:
total 16
-rw------- 1 root wheel 1562 Apr 22 19:56 mon.help
-rw------- 1 root wheel 648 Apr 22 19:55 p11conf
-rw------- 1 root wheel 4096 Dec 12 1994 qna.rom
-rw------- 1 root wheel 512 Apr 22 19:41 rp.boot
All except p11conf came from ../emu. I had a hard time getting the p11conf
configuration file working, what with the cpp path etc. So I basically made
a p11conf file which doesn't use any #defines. Here it is:
libdir = .
ctrl rl 017774400 0160 4 4000
end
ctrl rp 017776700 0254 5 4000
0 /usr/local/src/RP_211bsd_root 12
end
ctrl kl
017777560 060 064 4 ../emu/IOProgs/tty_net -7 -t 10002
017776500 0300 0304 4 ../emu/IOProgs/tty_net -7 -t 10003
end
ctrl mr 017777520 ./rp.boot
end
ctrl lp 017777514 0200 4
end
ctrl tm 017772520 0224 5
end
Note that the emulated RP disk image is at /usr/local/src/RP_211bsd_root.
The number 12 after this is arbitrary, I have no idea what it does.
Now, to run the emulator using the p11conf above from the run directory,
do ../emu/p11 -d &. You can run it in the background as it doesn't require
any keyboard interaction. Then telnet localhost 10002, and hit Return a few
times. You will see:
In fact, you can use any port from 10000 to 10003. They map to
/dev/console and /dev/ttyl1 through /dev/ttyl3 (though for some reason
/etc/ttys doesn't contain entries for the latter two).

Yes, I think so. The access to the machine goes via the tunnel
driver, and that would need to be completed for Linux. The authors
don't use Linux, so they haven't done the work. They don't use BSD/OS
much any more, so if you are going to install one, FreeBSD is the
obvious choice, especially considering the price differential.
Of course, any old UNIX user should be using BSD anyway, especially if
you want to emulate older BSDs :-)

Using a new approach, I have re-counted the number of floating point
operations for the utilities contained in Unix's bin directory.
According to my results, many important 7th Edition programs such as
adb, awk and tar make heavy use of floating point on the PDP-11.
As you know, my first approach was to simple-mindedly examine every
word of a given program's disk image to come up with an estimate of
the number of floating point operations used by the program.
I would like to thank those who pointed out the shortcoming of this
approach and offered valuable advice on how to achieve my aim of
accurate counts. Based on these comments, I decided to create a
full fledged disassembler for the PDP-11.
I have tested my program and believe it produces an exact count of
all floating point operations.
In case you're interested in how my initial estimates compare with
the new, precise counts, I list those data below as well.

Using a new approach, I have re-counted the
number of floating point
operations for the utilities contained in Unix's bin directory.
According to my results, many important 7th Edition programs such as
adb, awk and tar make heavy use of floating point on the PDP-11.
I'll believe this when you pinpoint the instructions.

I'll believe this when you pinpoint the
instructions.
Your skepticism spurred me to examine a Unix utility in depth to see
whether my results hold up. They do.
According to my count, tar uses 106 floating point operations. Here
are the first few. The complete list, tar3.txt, is attached as
well for your perusal. If you'd like to look at the complete
disassembled code for tar, let me know.
[root@oskar uv7]# ../dis/disuv7.pl < tar | grep ';17'
file header: 410 37400 4254 27422 20270 0 0 1
read 16128 bytes
prog string is 16128 bytes
0: SETD ;170011
20532: STCFD F0,(R1) ;176011
20562: STF F0,(R1) ;174011
22406: LDF F0,(R4)+ ;172424
22410: STF F0,-(SP) ;174046
22460: LDF F0,(R4)+ ;172424
22462: STF F0,-(SP) ;174046
22620: LDF F0,(R4)+ ;172424
22622: STF F0,-(SP) ;174046
24124: LDF F0,4(R5) ;172465 000004
24130: STF F0,-(SP) ;174046
26616: LDF F0,#56200 ;172427 056200
I chose tar as an example because it is an important utility and
because it is a relatively heavy user of floating point (as guaged
by the number of floating point ops contained in tar).
The following routines in 7th Edition tar appear to use floating
point:
~_filbuf
~_innum
~atof
~cvt
~ecvt
~fcvt
~gcvt
~isatty
~main
~mktemp
The addresses of these routines, as listed in tar's symbol
table--see attached file symlisttar.txt--correspond to those of the
disassembled floating point ops in tar.
I've learned a lot while responding to the criticisms offered by you
and others on this list. Thank you.
Ed

I don't know what the code above is intended to do, but it's not
floating point. At the very best, it would indicate the use of the
floating point registers for straightforward data moves. I stand by
my assertion that tar doesn't use floating point, neither in the
Seventh Edition nor elsewhere.
For the fun of it, I took the source of tar from the Seventh Edition
(/usr/src/cmd/tar/tar.c) and compiled it on 2.11BSD. I had some minor
compilation problems due to different directory structures, which I
solved by #ifdefing out the following code:
#if 0
for (j=0; j < DIRSIZ; j++)
*cp2++ = dbuf.d_name[j];
*cp2 = '\0';
close(infile);
putfile(buf, cp);
infile = open(".", 0);
i++;
lseek(infile, (long) (sizeof(dbuf) * i), 0);
#endif
I think we can agree that they don't contain FP code. Here are some
results:
[23] root--> cc -n -s -O tar.c -S
[24] root--> grep -i ldf tar.s
[25] root--> grep -i mul tar.s
The following routines in 7th Edition tar appear to
use floating
point:
> _filbuf
> _innum
> atof
> cvt
> ecvt
> fcvt
> gcvt
> isatty
> main
> mktemp
atof, cvt, ecvt, fcvt and gcvt are conversion routines which use
floating point, so I can agree that they would contain FP code which,
however, would not be used. isatty is a library routine which is
simple enough to quote:
/*
* Returns 1 iff file is a tty
*/
#include <sgtty.h>
isatty(f)
{
struct sgttyb ttyb;
if (gtty(f, &ttyb) < 0)
return(0);
return(1);
}
Evidently there's no FP code there.
It's fun to go looking for things like this. But never trust
anything, especially not your own judgement, until you have a couple
of different ways to prove it. You have the sources there; go ahead
and check them out.

I emailed him about the possibility of recreating
the roff sources,
an I will probably wind up doing that. Then we will have a working
set of sources for clean copy.
Great idea. Keep us posted.

I could probably manufacture HTML from roff reasonably rapidly,
assuming the originals are vaguely clean. I used to do this for a
living at one piunt (:).

Could it be possible that all the floating point calls are part of the crt.0
initialization libs?! They may be in there as part of a initialization
routeen to detect a fp, and use it if it's there, although I really doubt tar
would really need an fp call at all.. It sounds like some kind of generic
startup thing.. Unfortunatly I don't have any source to anything at the
moment... If anyone wants to dive check the startup libs... Oh well until
then, I'm just waiting for SCO to send me my no.. :)
TTYL!
