Hoi. Yesterday, I came across the file Berkeley_Unix_History.pdf on my disk. It contains scanned articles of UNIX Review January 1985, October 1985 and January 1986. Searching the web brought up this online location for the file: http://simson.net/ref/free_software/Berkeley_Unix_History.pdf I read the articles for the first time and had a great time doing so. Especially the ``Berkeley Underground'' article was pure fun! Here, have some impression: We modified the kernel to support asynchronous I/O, distri- buted files, security traces, "real- time" interrupts for subprocess multitasking, limited screen editing, and various new system calls. We wrote compilers, ass- emblers, linkers, disassemblers, database utilities, cryptographic utilities, tutorial help systems, games, and screen-oriented ver- sions of standard utilities. User friendly utilities for new users that avoided accidental file deletion, libraries to support common operations on data structures such as lists, strings, trees, sym- bol tables, and libraries to perform arbitrary precision arithmetic and symbolic mathematics were other contributions. We suggested im- provements to many system calls and to most utilities. We offered to fix the option flags so that the dif- ferent utilities were consistent with one another. To Us, nothing was sacred, and We saw a great deal in UNIX that could stand improvement. Much of what We implemented, or asked to be allowed to implement, is now a part of System V and 4.2 BSD; others of our innovations are still missing from all versions of UNIX. Despite these accom- plishments, it seemed that whenever We asked The Powers That Be to install Our software and make it available to the rest of the system's users, We were greeted with stony silence. Unfortunately, the scan is not complete as some pages are missing. For example, page 43 (the title page of the mentioned article) is among them. Does anyone know where to get the full articles? meillo
