Paul,
Bleh, sorry for the blank post... notes went
schitzo....
*smile*
If MS can release WinCE source, then they would
probably do
the same for XENIX.... both PDP/11 and the x86 version perhaps...
Its not like we want the source... just a tape image would do me :)
Perhaps there is someone in MS who knows of XENIX's existance and
can help.... I'll have a word with a friend of mine who works
there :)
Yeah, I agree. I personally think MS would release Xenix, as it no
longer has any commercial value whatsoever to them. The hardest part
might be finding people within who know about it, and who can point
us in the right (legalese) direction. Once MS signs off on it, the
people at SC(O)aldera won't have a problem with releasing the tapes.
Cheers,
Fred

Ummmm, they can't. Windows XP most likely uses pieces of Xenix to get
it stable. And you know that they will not release sources of the
windoze O.S-es :=)

New subject: [pups] UNIX/RT
I think I've found the influence of UNIX/RT on the world at large, and
the Open Sores^V^V^V^Vource community in particular.
from OpenBSD 3.0 /etc/magic:
0 leshort 0401 PDP-11 UNIX/RT ldp
(can anyone tell me what ldp means?)

stable?
are we talking about the same OS?

Microsoft probably wouldn't have any problem releasing the PDP-11 version
of XENIX - it is, after all, really just a minor V7 variant with very
little Microsoft
code in it.
The two problems you will have are:
- finding anyone at Microsoft who knows what PDP-11 XENIX is, and
understands that
it has no commercial value.
- finding either a binary or source distribution of it
XENIX for the x86 family hasn't quite reached the status of "no
commercial value" yet.
Caldera still ships XENIX compatibility with the OpenServer operating
system,
customers still use it, and we still pay Microsoft royalties on every
copy of OpenServer
that we ship for that very reason.
