"Dan'l Miller" <optikos@verizon.net> Wrote in message: > http://web.mit.edu/multics-historyThe source code to Multics 12.5 November 1992 operating system per se has been entirely or mostly open sourced. But what about the PL/I compiler utilized to compile Multics? Has the source code to the ?entire? PL/I compiler been open sourced? (I see some portions of the source code marked "damaged".)What percentage of the Multics PL/I compiler's source code has been open-sourced? The source code to version 2 of the Multics PL/I compiler seems to be available here (as a concatenated archive of all the source-code files into a single Multics-segment/file): http://web.mit.edu/multics-history/source/Multics/ldd/system_library_standard/source/bound_pl1_.1.s.archive Likewise, what percentage of the EC compiler has been open sourced?Likewise, what percentage of the Multics operating system proper's source code has been open-sourced? Is that number actually 100%.What source code that is ??directly related?? to Multics (PL/I compiler; EC compiler; ALM assembler) remains not publicly available? Or in other words, how close are we to actually resurrecting Multics compiled today from source code (instead of old binaries executed by a emulator of the 6180/Level66 processor); where are the source-code gaps? Pretty close to 100% coverage. We have rebuilt both the os and pli compilers to fix bugs. H -- ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/
