Re: [9fans] 3e
Not sure why the licensing question came up. It was free back then, so I don't know why it wouldn't be now, unless Bell Labs revoked the previous license. More than anything I was trying to figure out the last release date. I've got a plan9.9gz file dated 20010327, and some odd patch files, the largest of which is 10140327.9gz dated Oct14, but I'm not sure if that's October 2000 or October 2001. Was hoping to hear if anyone had anything newer. Anyway, no worries... just fact-finding. Many thanks!! -Ben
Re: [9fans] 3e
Not sure why the licensing question came up. My fault, I was just a little unsure about copying the distribution floppies that VN had produced, I thought that checking with Charles would be polite. It turns out its all academic as I can only find the 2nd ed floppies, the 3rd ed one(s) if I ever had any have disappeared. Sorry for the noise. -Steve

3e + venti + fossil = 4e what about 9p2000? - erik
Re: [9fans] 3e
i've not checked the 3e CD i have, but i'm pretty sure 9p2k was released with 4e (or just before). 2e to 3e also included a rewrite of acme from original alef to c; and alef was left behind. btw, i see 6c in 2nd ed, but it is not mentioned in the compiler paper; was that the i960? -Skip On Sun, Feb 10, 2013 at 8:10 PM, andrey mirtchovski mirtchov...@gmail.com wrote: How was 3E different from 2E and from 4E? roughly (and other's view may differ): 2e + auth + 9p2k = 3e 3e + venti + fossil = 4e i think factotum and secstore are in the second equation too.

How was 3E different from 2E and from 4E? The different prefaces are a good summary: http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sys/man/preface.html http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sys/man/preface3.html http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sys/man/preface4.html 2e + auth + 9p2k = 3e 9P2000 was part of the Fourth Edition. 3e + venti + fossil = 4e Fossil came out on January 2003, while the Fourth Edition was released on April 2002. -- David du Colombier
[9fans] Ancient History: Electronic Mail Without Aliases
Does anyone on the list have a copy of or pointer to Electronic Mail Without Aliases, by Elliott and Lesk? It's referenced in the 8th Edition Unix manual, but I've never read it (and only have vol1 of the manual).
