This message is addressed primarily to the BBN alumni out there.<br>
<br>
The simh platform supports various PDP10 emulations (ITS, TOPS-10,<br>
TOPS-20), but from what I have been able to determine so far, there is<br>
no TENEX emuation. I was told that an emulation of the TENEX pager<br>
hardware was implemented but not much tested at this point.<br>
<br>
Do any of you know whether an archive of TENEX software has been<br>
saved? If so, do you know whether it could be made available to<br>
experimenters (considering any licensing restrictions that might still<br>
be in force, etc.)?<br>
<br>
My motivation for this is one step removed. I've been working on<br>
using the simh emulation of the PDP11 to run the EPOS operating system<br>
for the PDP11 that we developed at ISI to support the ARPANET packet<br>
speech work. The EPOS system and application software was developed<br>
on the TENEX systems at ISI.<br>
<br>
Going a step further in the search, if there is an archive of software<br>
from the BBN systems, I wonder whether that archive might include the<br>
MACN11 and LINK11 programs that we used for the EPOS development. I<br>
know those programs were used at BBN because I worked with Ray<br>
Tomlinson on extending the functionality of LINK11, which was written<br>
in SAIL.<br>
<br>
I have one binary build of EPOS that I have succeeded in running, and<br>
I do have sources for EPOS, but no build tools. Sadly, when I left<br>
ISI I did not personally save as many files as I now wish I would<br>
have, and ISI has not kept this history, either.<br>
