steve@lpi3230.UUCP (Steve Burbeck) (03/19/85)
What follows is the list (as of 3/18/85) of P-E unix sites. I have added
several sites in the last two weeks, but new information has slowed to a
trickle so I am posting it. One caution: some of this information may be
out of date or just plain wrong.
When The Wollongong Group sold the rights to Edition VII to P-E, (about
a year and a half ago) there were over 100 licensees. Since then, P-E must
have sold several dozen more machines with unix. That means that the
following list covers no more than a quarter of the P-E sites. I have
attempted, through both P-E and Interchange to obtain a more complete list.
No luck yet.
But the good news is that the list already contains sites with a wide
range of applications, experience and expertise. It's a good start.
Lets keep our eyes and ears open for other sites. In the mean time,
this list ought to keep everyone from feeling too lonely.

notes:
We run 4.2bsd (without auto-config or paging,
neither is really feasible on PE). The system
that Berkeley has on their 3230 they got from us.
We have source, but not from PE - our sources
predate the code that PE got. (Of course, we
have done a lot to it since then). The system
won't run on 3220's (must have a MAT) but is very
fast on other PE machines. Its not available (at
the minute anyway).
