Billy Y.. >From: bkort@labs-n.bbn.com () Newsgroups: comp.sys.dec.micro Subject: Venix Installation Code Now Available Date: 11 Feb 1996 20:47:54 GMT Jon Schepis of VenturCom has kindly released the installation code algorithm for installing Venix 1.0 and 2.0 on the DEC PRO 350/380. I have copied the package to a tar file and posted it on anonymous FTP on ftp.museent.org in the pub/bkort directory. There is a brief README file and the venix.tar file. I compiled the 'proacc' algorithm on my VAX, and it works fine. If you are installing Venix and you have no platform to run the 'proacc' utility on, send me E-Mail with your Venix XFER diskette serial number and the machine code, and I will run the algorithm for you. If someone wants to post the entire Venix distribution package, be sure to include this package, or instructions on how to retrieve it. Barry Kort >From: bkort@labs-n.bbn.com () Date: 18 Feb 1996 03:14:15 GMT I have now uploaded TeleDisk images of the Venix 1.0 and Venix 2.0 installation RX50 floppies as venix1.zip and venix2.zip archives. Find them in ftp://ftp.musenet.org/bkort/ Read the README file there and snarf the appropriate package for your model DEC PRO machine. Use PKUNZIP on your DOS machine to unpack the zip archives into TeleDisk *.TD0 images, then use TeleDisk to create RX50 floppies from the images. Enjoy! Barry Kort bkort@musenet.org
