Uploaded a new Virtualbox VM with COHERENT 4.2.
The system has more of the company sources installed and is now self hosting. All development tools are compiled from the sources under /u1/src in
multiple stages, to make sure that stuff still works. Also libraries are re-compiled
from sources, all the original binaries and libs are renamed to something.r10. Kernel 4.2.10 is rebuild with the new build development tools.
The X11 distribution is more complete, all X11R5 fonts, fixed configurations, added X11 clients like olvwm, fvwm, xman customised for the COHERENT
online manuals etc. etc. etc.
This system is pretty much like a MWC development system from late 1994,
it should be possible to compile any software available from the old archives, or tweak and improve the whole system.
From the .vmdk image I'm going to build an image for PCem, that allows to run the color X11 server, needs a bit of configuration for the different hardware.
Have fun with the machine,
Udo
