A little more than three weeks ago i posted a query for pointers to
(and relative merits of) Unix hosted on IBM 4381 machines.
Unfortunately, during two of the intervening three weeks our
connection to usenet was entirely down (due to a head crash on the
spooling disk and extenuating events), so i have missed any
responses that might have been sent to me. In fact, i have not
received any responses. Our net contact has now stabilized. If
you did send (or post) any response, i'd appreciate it very much if
you would send it once again to me.
I mentioned in that message that the IBM is running VM/SP, with CMS
and a retinue of what are apparently standard IBM VM products (i'm
only peripherally associated with the IBM), and that it's not clear
what constraints we would have on configuring Unix on the machine.
Incidentally, i concurrently posted a similar request for C hosted
on the IBM, and the only response i've gotten so far was from a
coworker here at this lab, who suggested looking into the SAS
lattice C port. I've found an SAS advertisement in _The C Journal_,
vol 1, # 4, Winter 1986, and am just in the process of contacting
the company.
Thanks for your attention...,
