I have just received my Ultrix 3.0 source tapes. Much to my surprise the distribution contains only VAX related code, and nothing at all pertaining to the MIPS machine. Two questions: 1. Is there a separate source distribution for the MIPS-based machines? 2. Does anybody know WHY it isn't all together? Martyn Johnson maj@cl.cam.ac.uk

There is a separate source distribution for the PMAX, though I don't know if it's available yet. 2. It's not all in one place because they came out at different times, and some parts are not quite identical (and, no, I don't have the list of what isn't, but most of the changes are tiny). I suspect (though I don't speak for Digital) that this will not be the case at some time in the future. Win Treese Cambridge Research Lab treese@crl.dec.com Digital Equipment Corp.
