Research Unix Version 7 - 3.2
This is an updated note that covers building a working v7 instance from tape files that will run in the OpenSImH emulator. First, the reader is led through the restoration of a pristine v7 instance from tape to disk. Next, the reader is led through adding a regular user and making the system multi-user capable. Then, the reader is shown how to make the system multi-session cable to allow multiple simultaneous sessions. Finally, the system is put to use with hello world, DMR style, and the learn system is enabled.
The note explains each step of the process in detail.

Warren Toomey Awarded 2022 USENIX Flame
Warren Toomey, the founder and maintainer of all things related to The Unix Heritage Society (TUHS) https://www.tuhs.org/ has been awarded the 2022 USENIX Lifetime Achievment Award ("The Flame").
Without TUHS, it would hardly even be possible to enjoy retro unix explorations. This is a well earned accolade by an unassuming and very hard working individual.
Congratulations, Warren!

dircmp.py - a plan to improve and extend
dircmp.py
A plan to improve and extend
This note pertains to dircmp.py a program that I wrote to give me information about two directories for the purpose of deciding what to keep and what to remove and to learn about python. The note is a draft note and as such it's not very refined and it may lack in many ways, but I thought it might be interesting to put it out there and let anyone see it. Email me if you have comments or suggestions.
