It seems that somebody has mistakenly taken two of the SUN distribution tapes from the Terminal Room in Dallas. The tapes are labeled SunOS tape (#2 of 2) and C 1.0 compiler tape. They were located in the terminal room behind the Sun with tape #1 of 2, which was not taken. I can only assume it was a mistake that these tapes were picked up. I hope that the person taking them will please return them to the Usenix Office, 2560 Ninth Street, Suite 215, Berkeley, CA 94710 so that we may return them to Sun Microsystems. It would be a real shame that this isolated incident might cause the end of future Terminal Rooms at USENIX Conferences. Sonya D. Neufer Terminal Room Coordinator

But whatever the outcome, we can assume that it will be the end of leaving valuable software lying around on a distribution medium where it can be easily stolen. -- Steve Dyer dyer@ursa-major.spdcc.com aka {ima,harvard,rayssd,linus,m2c}!spdcc!dyer dyer@arktouros.mit.edu, dyer@hstbme.mit.edu

It is possible that the tapes were taken by non-usenix people.
The security at the terminal room was somewhat lax compared
to that at DFW. While I was in there, there were several poeple without
badges, but not everyone wears their badge. If you let us know what architecture,
maybe someone with an extra tape can mail it/them to you, and the future of
terminal room access would be assured.
