Message-ID: <2222@sri-arpa.UUCP> Date: Thu, 16-Jun-83 10:38:00 EDT Article-I.D.: sri-arpa.2222 Posted: Thu Jun 16 10:38:00 1983 Date-Received: Sat, 18-Jun-83 17:11:42 EDT Lines: 22 From: Steve WoodsThe new DEC Micro/PDP-11 Handbook which I got yesterday has a section on Unix which starts with the sentence "Digital supports Bell Laboratories' UNIX Timesharing System Version 7 on the Micro/PDP-11 under the name V7M-11." The catalog which came with it has no mention of V7M-11 or Unix. The Los Angeles Local UNIX users group had a speaker from DEC about a month ago. This gentleman (Jan Griska) is the project manager for DEC's UNIX support group. He stated explicitly that DEC IS supporting UNIX (binary licenses only) and has put a fairly large effort into the job. In particular drivers that perform error logging, a error log reporter, a crash dump analyser. DEC will also have Telephone Software Consulting (from Denver) and DDC (telephone diagnostics , also from Denver). In addition they have a UNIX VMS style diagnostic package. All field offices will have training in UNIX (for your CE). (Mr. Griska's Phone # is (603)-844-5947) He said (aprox) `you may have to bug your local office some to get this implemented locally`. DEC is also planning support for VAXEN. One of our members stated that he had it (from a reliable source) that at least 50% of all VAXEN run unix, DEC thinks that at least 30% do so. All of the VAX users in our group run VMS only for diagnostics (e.i. when the CE is there).
