Interesting question :-D

first off, i LOVE unix to death, but i really only like the text/console side of it. im not big into the XFree86/Xwindows side of things.. so with that known... im in search of really old *nix's.. like way outdated, floppy OS's from way back in the day. im kinda in search of the pure'r UNIX's.
if anyone knows where i could attain any of the following in open-source of course, i dont wanna pay for any of these, nor should i have to.. except maybe the last one... but that would be great to find these older OS's for study and testing..

The wishList:

4.2BSD, 4.3BSD, 4.4BSD
SVR2, SVR3, SVR4, SVR4.2
XPG3
ULTRIX-11
PDP-7, PDP11/20
Authentic V3,V5,V6,V7 (mainly 6 and 7)
Old IRIX
if possible BSD1.x
UnixWare 2.0
OpenServer 5.0

and i dont even know if it really exists, but an open-source AIX (older obviously).

if anyone could tell me where some of those are, id be very greatful.

NAME
cr - converts text files between nix EOL and dos EOL SYNOPSIS
cr - | + <input file> <output file> DESCRIPTION
Text files, such as tle files, that come from a dos source usualy have the ^M symbol at the end of every line. Cr converts files between the dos newline format and the normal *nix newline format by stripping the ^M to convert dos to *nix, using the '-' option, or adding ^M to a *nix file to create the proper dos file when the '+' option is used. Although this extra character is not often a problem, programs like seesat5, which are data driven will encounter parsing problems when the extra character is present. It is these problems that cr is intended to repair. Options - | + One or the other of these options is required. The '-' option is used to remove ^M from all newlines found in the dos file. The '+' option is used to add ^M to every newline found in a *nix file. input file Fully delineated path to the input file. As this program is used in the dos environment as well, standard input is not used. output file Fully delineated path to the output file. As this program is used in the dos environment as well, standart output is not used. SEE ALSO
seesat5(1), seesat5(7), SEESAT5.INI(5), tle(5) BUGS
Cr is not an inteligent program. It methodicaly replaces/removes the offending character when it finds it in the correct context. Newline sequences found in contexts other than 'newline' will be replaced/removed just like those found in the proper context. Passing a binary file through cr is not advised, for this reason.
