Since my name was brought up i guess i should chime in - followups to comp.bugs.2bsd to avoid annoying the rest of the world with chatter about pdp-11s ;-)\ > Since that time Steven Schultz (sms@wlv.iipo.gtegsc.com) has maintained >the BSD PDP-11 port and has released it at least twice as BSD2.11 and (I >think) BSD2.11.1. Steven has significantly extended Keith's and my work Not quite yet. It really _should_ be re-released as 2.11.1 or something - managing a patch/update list of 157 changes from the base version is becoming a bit unwieldy. >with the few features from BSD4.3 we omitted (the fast file system for >one) and many features from BSD4.3-reno. What can I say? It's good that >the world has a few masochists ... :-) Thanks! Don't forget the 'readv/writev' stuff - it's no longer a library compatibility routine... (actually it was the 4.3BSD directory structure that was ported so that i could have longer filenames - i'm not nearly enough of a masochist to attempt a full up port of the FFS [something about the cylinder groups needing more memory than can be stuffed into a pdp11, etc ;-)]). Yep - guess i'm a bit of a "it's fun to hit one's head against the wall" type of person. What can I say?
