It's a long story.... Our computer center is running a V6 variant on their PDP-11/70s and now have V7 license and source tape. They would like to extract parts of the V7 distribution to be used until they upgrade to System III or System V. To do so they need either to boot V7 (which will be difficult because of the disk drives they have) or get a copy of restor which will run on their V6 machines or on our (computer science dept) 4.1bsd machines. Once the restor is done they can pick out what they need. So... does anyone have a pointer to a restor for V6 or 4.1bsd that can read V7 release tape? I'd appreciate diffs on existing restor programs, the real program, or pointers on how to change the 4.1bsd release of restor or 512restor.
