[net.micro] UNIX

covert@ihuxq.UUCP (covert) (01/11/84)

	I need a UNIX(tm) version of the CP/M-80 archiver 'LU' to run
on a System V UNIX machine. I will need the source code to it.
	If a 'LU' compatiable program is not available for UNIX, then
does anyone have an archiver supported on both machines??
	It should be written in FORTRAN or RATFOR or C as those are the
only languages which I can port between both operating systems.
TIA

Thanks to all who sent me the Stephen Hemminger program called
'LAR.C'. It appears to be the 'lu'-type program that I need.
The version that I have now appears to be the version posted last
August.

LAR.C is a UNIX-based implementation of LU, and it is completely
compatible with LU.  I am using it now under UNIX SYSTEM V on a
VAX 11/780.  It should be on SIMTEL20 under MICRO:<UNIX.CPM>.

Would anyone feel differently if AT&T initially offered only
"complete" UNIX, and then a year later also gave the option
of buying pieces at a lower cost (without raising the price for the
"complete" version)?

My only point is that at-least-somewhat-sophisticated buyers
(which includes most multi-user micro customers, I think) base
their decisions on the price/performance of the configuration that meets
their needs, without regard for the existence or price/performance 
of any other configurations that may be available.  

I promise to say no more.

What computers out there can run UNIX or at least a reasonable implementation/lookalike of it.  I consider reasonable to be a system with VI, nroff, C, pascal,
f77 and the standard utilities.  I really don't care about the rest of the
stuff.  How much hardware would it require?

Thanks out there.
