See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge DEC is still making computers, but they've largely forgotten about the PDP-8. The main DEC WWW server is http://www.digital.com/ DECUS, the DEC User Society, is still alive and well, and their submission form still lists PAL8 and FOCAL as languages in which they accept submissions! The DECUS library catalog is available on-line at decus.org; www access is through gopher.decus.org or http://www.decus.org/ To quote the README file from the DECUS on-line catalog, "Items from older DECUS Library catalogs are still also available (provided their media can still be read), but machine readable catalog information is not available for these." Direct questions by E-mail to INFORMATION@DECUS.ORG. Bob Supnik at DEC has rescued OS/8 from oblivion within DEC and has managed to get DEC to grant a non-commercial free-use licence for OS/8 to all who wish to use it. In addition, he has released a demonstration version of OS/8 for his PDP-8 emulator, available with a copy of the free-use licence from: ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/sim/software/os8swre.tar.Z The following anonymous FTP sites also contain publically accessable archives of PDP-8 software and other information: ftp://ftp.update.uu.se/pub/pdp8 ftp://russ.ucs.indiana.edu/pub/DEC/PDP8/ ftp://ftp.cs.uiowa.edu/pub/jones/pdp8 ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/academic/computer-science/history/pdp-8 The latter archive also maintains an archive of traffic in alt.sys.pdp8 in the directory ...pdp8/usenet and an archive of traffic in the pdp8-lovers mailing list in .../pdp8/pdp8-lovers. The archive at Indiana contains source code for many PDP-8 compilers and interpreters, as well as common utilities and games.
