[Simh] Earlyish UNIX for the VAX

[Clem Cole]

Please go to: The Unix Heritage Society <https://www.tuhs.org/>  (*a.k.a.*
TUHS) and look in the Unix Archives.
All of the sources you are interested in are there, some was raw tapes,
other as distribution kits.
It is organized by the organization that released the distribution.  You
will find most everything there from Unix V0 to 10th Edition including
32V.  We are missing something like MERT and a few of the intermediate
releases such as UNIX/TS; but I think you will find it useful and fairly
complete.  We often have the documentation (such as Mini-UNIX's creator,
Heinz Lacklama donated the the original docs [and all his papers], but he
lacks the original distribution tape).

Note the TUHS mailing list is very active with many of us original folks
that were there at the time (and are still with us)
contributing, correcting history when it sometimes deviates from reality to
legend.  Note there is a companion mailing list (also pretty active) called
COFF - Computer Old F*ts Followers which is supposed to take up the
discussion when it deviates from UNIX specifically.

Have fun...
Clem
