I was looking through the old archives at the old UNIX Dennis Ritchie
submitted. I would like to know how to boot this. I can't seem to compile
the PDP emulator(s) with djgpp or a non-linux system. I can with my linux.
Dennis said this version of unix was compiled with assembly, then into C if
I'm not mistaken. Now the PDPs they were the machines with no monitors just
printer tty type output correct?

Look on this page for the link that says "Windows executables"
http://simh.trailing-edge.com/

You are mistaken. It's the other way around. Traditional C compilers generate
assembly which is assembled into machine code object files which are linked
into an executable.

Depends on the PDP you are talking about. The term "Programmed Data Processor"
refers to a large number of different systems. Some are a small as PeeCees and
others filled entire rooms.
