I understand that parts of it that contained AT&T code have been removed, namely some of the low-level driver and machine specific stuff for VAXen (and possibly other stuff I don't know about). Does anyone know exactly what parts are missing? And short of getting an AT&T licence, is there any alternate way of getting these files i.e. has someone written AT&T free versions of them? I have technical details of the VAX 11 innards (re. DEC VAX Hardware Handbook) and would be willing to write some code if the exact nature of the missing components was known. Indeed, does there exist a completely AT&T free 4.3BSD (or any Unix for that matter) that runs on the VAX? -- ------------------------------------------------ Brian Murray --- brianm@cbme.unsw.edu.au CBX250 Apple//c VAX 11/750 SGI Indigo -----------------------------------------------------------------
