[Simh] Unix V7; AOS; VMS SOB - AOS in particular

[Merrony, Stephen (London)]

Bob/Bruce,

Thanks for the info.

I'm disinclined to just give up on this AOS licence issue.  Is there
anything at all that I can do that might make some headway with EMC/DG
regarding the 16-bit software at least?  I can understand that the
32-bit stuff may be an issue as it appears that a few companies still
make money out of supporting it (on the other hand, freeing up the
software might actually help those companies...), but surely there can
be no commercial value left in the 16-bit software?

Unless of course those Clariion things are actually running AOS under
the covers!!

Regards,
        Steve

1. UNIX V7 multiple terminals

The DH11 and DHQ11 have nothing in common except four characters in
their 
names.  The DHQ11 is from a later generation of terminal mux's that 
includes the DHU11 and DHV11.

A DH11 should be straightforward enough, given the available examples.

2. AOS

AOS (16b) will run on the Eclipse simulator; but as Bruce indicated, the

licensing issues appear intractible.  The RDOS license was obtained
through 
the good offices of the late Don Lewine.

I don't have documentation for the 32b Eclipse series, so I don't know
how 
complex an MV8000 would be to do.

3. VMS Standalone Backup

One possibility is that SOB is expecting the second controller to have
its 
units numbered from 0-3 rather than 4-7.  I've received a patch that
will 
allow the VAX secondary controllers to be DUB0-3, DUC0-3, and DUD0-3, 
rather than 4-7, 8-11, and 12-15 respectively (a PDP-11 restriction that
is 
unnecessarily carried over to the VAX).
