The leads about the dump of all EMAS sources and the KDF9 compiler are great - I really hope we manage to track them down. We would welcome the GUTS code and your ECCE ports - even though perhaps not strictly written at Edinburgh, they're definitely in direct lineage from what was done here. I do remember Ian Young having a copy of GUTS which he was running on a PDP11 at the Wave Power project. (By the way - I ported ECCE to BCPL and C myself - it really is easier than learning a new editor, isn't it? And still after 30 years more powerful and succint than current editors...) We'll be in touch once we have a fileserver up, to get what you have as online material. We'll probably wait quite some time over the manuals you have; it's going to take a *long* time to scan what we've found already, and as you note a lot of the manuals you have will be available locally and we should find those first. I truly appreciate your help, thank you. Graham To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: edinburgh-computer-history-unsubscribe@egroups.com
