Thanks for the much more useful link; Personally, I don't hide that I 
strongly disagree (understatement) on the current IP & copyright disease 
in academia & research and scientific papers....

Someday I try post my opinion on IP laws on broad relative to the 
preservation of hardware specifics and old software, if considered 
interesting by others here.

More interesting to the ML fellows, after looking at PDP-7 DECSYS (aside 
that seems that can't works on SIMH because of the DECTape track mark 
issue) I'm pretty sure that a sort of "DrOS" (DRum Operating System) can 
be developed on the early 18b PDPs and PDP1 (no pun on "drecnet" here ;) 
) and this sort of "open source operating system" can be done IMRHO.

Best regards from Italy, and my apologies for the partial OT.
