Hey all,
I've been recently doing a reconstruction effort to rebuild Xenix
2.2.3c 386AT for preservation and demoing it. As of writing, myself,
and a friend of mine have managed to essentially reconstruct the
entirety of the release from broken medium with a lot of work and
magic, and I've been writing a series of articles on them (most
recent:
https://soylentnews.org/meta/article.pl?sid=17/03/07/1632251).
One of the main stumbling blocks is that the installation scripts in
the International Supplement bit-rotted. I've got a partial
reconstruction of what I think it does based on surviving SCO UNIX documentation, and the bits of shell script it does, but I'd *really*
like to get my hands on something to compare it to. The bit rotten
file in question is /tmp/init.3_mapfi, and should be on the last disk
in the set, and the code in question should be asking about setting
character maps on either terminal lines (Xenix) or serial lines (SCO)
based on the release in question. If anyone has a copy of the
international supplement for SCO UNIX or Xenix (of any flavor) that I
can use as a reference, it would help a great deal.
Neither SCO UNIX nor Xenix have done great in the preservation era,
and the International Supplement is MIA from basically every copy I've
seen as it was apparently a separate SKU. Hoping somewhere has it, or
something close to it.
Michael
