Subject: PDP-8 et. al. archives

The PDP-8 and DECmate archives are available via anonymous ftp from:

sunsite.unc.edu

in the directory:

/pub/academic/computer-science/history/pdp-8

and lower directories.  One level up in the history directory is an
Incoming directory for uploads.  All are encouraged to submit anything
relevant.  There are also similar sections for other DEC machines such as
PDP-10 and -11.

There will be a directory called RX50 which will contain utilities for other
machines such as PC's.  The purpose of the utilities is to support various
aspects of RX50 handling, such as formatting blank diskettes, image handling,
etc. on other machines.  Clearly this affects all users of the DECmate II, III
and III+, but generally these utilities can be useful to other users of RX50
such as MicroVAX, Rainbow, PRO, Micro-11, etc.

All are encouraged to participate.

A slight update:

The directory /pub/academic/computer-science/history/Incoming is for material
that cannot be categorized easily under the other directories "deeper" in
the archive.  For PDP-8/DM-specific material, please use the directory:

/pub/academic/computer-science/history/pdp-8/incoming

(Note the case of Incoming in one place and incoming in the other!)
