*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE *** Does anyone know of a port of ANY flavor of Un*x to a DEC TOPS-20 machine? (Yes, I know, it's weird, and "why would anyone wanna do a silly thing like that?" and etc...) Still, maybe someone, somewhere knows of such a silly thing. If you do, I'd sure appreciate hearing details, or rumors, or pointers, or anything like that. Mail, please, not postings. If response is sufficient, I'll summarize to the net.

There is a company Systems Concepts in San Francisco which builds a KL10 compatible processor (actually faster and very interesting, like only IBM channels and ethernets for I/O, extensive front-ending etc.) They claimed to be working on a UNIX for it, I dunno if it would run on a 20 or if they are adding architectural features to their box. Also, there is always the University of Utah C compiler which is a start towards a UNIX-like environment although right now it is just a compiler and link library. No one can write 'mkdir' for TOPS-20 without giving away the shop (I'll get flames for this.) Anyone know if there is any progress with whatever it was Utah was starting? I thought they were after a EUNICE-like thing. -Barry Shein, Boston University
