Hi there,

not much traffic in these groups any more. So before the IRIX OS 
will die completely (I think end of all support by end of
December this year?), I want to ask two questions:

(1) Does anyone know whether the IRIX-OS source files will be 
    preserved somehow? Is there anyone aware of them put into
    the public domain or at least saved for later publication?

    I think IRIX is a great OS which deserves being preserved!

(2) Has any one seriously thought about emulation of IRIX soft- 
    and hardware? For other platforms this is quite usual, but
    in case of SGI/MIPS/IRIX the answer of question (1) will
    be the key to this question, right?

Anyhow still enjoying my I2, Octane and O2 machines almost 
daily, 
   
    Erik.
