Change Details

The 2.8BSD tapes were the first ones to include a kernel, both source and a bootable tape. This was an AT&T V7 kernel, with a number of bug fixes, features in use at Berkeley, performance enhancements that were circulating to V7 in the licensee community and some build system changes. As such, there's a direct line from V7 unix to here. The V6 lines to 1BSD and 2BSD are a little misleading: those incluced software that would run on V6, but didn't include any V6 code at all. However, the 6th edition did heavily influence these tapes so I left that in place. There was all the 4.1BSD job control code, back ported to the V7 kernel, but these files weren't quite 4.1BSD release files and were missing bug fixes from there and made the system unstable. So this line is correct. I've verified that the 2.8BSD sources didn't have many of the 32V changes that marked the difference between V7 and 32V. 32V is V7 ported to the vax, though there were several version of this, and we have only a later version in the TUHS archives that post-dates the Berkeley starting point for 3BSD with its own page-demand code in it.

It lacks the tell-tale changes that are in 32V, however, at least according to the extant sources in the TUHS archives. As such, there's a direct line from V7 unix to 2.8BSD. The V6 lines to 1BSD and 2BSD seem at first to be a little misleading since the tapes appeared to just include software that ran in V6. However, ashell was derived from the v6 shell, and ex was an enhanced v6 ed, so I left that line in place. In addition, the 2.8BSD tapes incliuded the 4.1BSD job control code and some userland utilities, so that line is still correct and wasn't removed.
