Please read the LICENSE file for the full license terms. Although
|
|
there are no specific restrictions on use of this software, some rules
|
|
do apply for modification and re-distribution. Note that these terms
|
|
do not apply to files in the "run" and "contrib" directories, which
|
|
may have each have different terms and are distributed separately to
|
|
avoid licensing complications (see the READaux file if you have
|
|
extracted the Auxiliary Distribution).
|
|
|
|
While not part of the license terms, I would like to ask that any
|
|
commercial or institutional users who derive benefit from this
|
|
software consider arranging for a modest support agreement. Without
|
|
the income from a handful of commercial licensees, it would have been
|
|
completely impossible to justify the time that went into developing
|
|
and testing this product.
|
|
|
|
Of course, this software comes "as is" with no guarantees whatsoever,
|
|
and with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. This is particularly true for this
|
|
Distribution, which is NOT the same as the V1.x commercial version; I
|
|
took the opportunity to make several substantial cleanups and
|
|
additions which have yet to be thoroughly verified and tested. There
|
|
are still some known issues with certain platforms, but I've decided
|
|
to proceed with this release now rather than postpone it indefinitely
|
|
in the perpetual pursuit of perfection.
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Now, if you're the impatient type who wants to get on with it, go
|
|
straight to:
|
|
|
|
doc/install.txt
|
|
|
|
But if you're the rarity who likes to read everything first, I
|
|
recommend starting with:
|
|
|
|
doc/Intro.txt
|
|
|
|
Please send me any bug fixes (preferably conditionalized for clarity),
|
|
as well as any ideas for improving the distribution itself.
|
|
Undoubtedly there will be many. I can't promise I will be able to
|
|
incorporate all of them in a timely fashion since my clients and
|
|
family will always have first priority, but will do my best.
|
|
|
|
Thanks!

CREDITS, THANKS, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
|
|
|
|
I'm not sure where to put this but figure the README is
|
|
prominent enough.
|
|
|
|
While I am responsible for all of the KLH10 software and documentation
|
|
as of this distribution, there were many people along the way who,
|
|
whether they knew it or not, helped make it happen. Everyone who uses
|
|
this software owes them a debt of gratitude!
|
|
|
|
First, the list from the original KS10 version:
|
|
|
|
Stu Grossman, for convincing me that a C version was feasible.
|
|
Alan Bawden & Dave Moon, who (apart from their already legendary
|
|
roles in ITS) helped as much as they could without actually
|
|
being there.
|
|
Jay Verkler, who provided a MIT-AI lab environment within Oracle.
|
|
And everyone else on the ITS-LOVERS and TOPS-20 lists whose messages
|
|
and actions have helped keep PDP-10s alive.
|
|
Plus:
|
|
Mark Crispin, without whom it would never have run TOPS-20.
|
|
Rob Austein, for lots of network and porting help; the "tun" IMP code
|
|
is based on his work.
|
|
|
|
Now, for the KL10 version:
|
|
|
|
Andy Riebs and Maurice Marks, who championed the KL project at DEC.
|
|
Larry Sendlosky, who more than anyone else is responsible for
|
|
the success of the KL10 version. While at DEC he dug up
|
|
whatever was needed, built and tested innumerable configurations,
|
|
and went into the field to pitch and support the emulator.
|
|
Doug and Christina Engelbart, and the rest of the Bootstrap group,
|
|
for preserving the SRI-NIC DEC-2065 just long enough. Without
|
|
a working KL and filesystem it would have been much harder.
|
|
Duane Winkler, for taking a chance.
|
|
Bill Parsons, David Alspaugh, Dennis Horn, Holly Sue White,
|
|
Jim Saleh, Mary Coppernoll, Raylene Pak, Tom Jenkins, Tom Saleh,
|
|
and many unknown others for using it and shaking the bugs out.
|
|
|
|
And finally:
|
|
|
|
Doug Humphrey, who supported the merge and Public ITS work.
|
|
Bob Supnik, who made it possible to release the sources.
|
|
Lars Brinkhoff, for inspiration and release testing.
|
|
Tim Shoppa, for his preservation efforts and release hosting.
|
|
|
|
If I've inadvertently left anyone off, please let me know.
|
|
|
|
Thanks again!
