Apout is a PDP-11 emulator originally written by Warren Toomey and
improved by Sergey Poznyakoff to handle binaries from the earliest UNIX distributions.
The original version of apout is distributed from the
ftp archive of
The UNIX heritage society, or any of its mirrors
(in particular, tuhs.org.ua --
it's mirror in Ukraine).
This apout version successfully runs all binaries from
the earliest UNIX distributions available:
1972_stuff
and Dennis_v3.
The major part of these are of V2 type. A new switch, -type
allows to force running a binary as a given type, so, for example,
running
apout -type v2 prog
successfully runs most of the Dennis_v3 binaries.
Several binaries do not fit into that scheme. They are: /bin/strip,
:. ln, rm, chmod. The new version
is able to run these as well.
Beside this, the new version fixes several compatibility problems.
See the project's homepage at Puszcza for information about CVS repository.
The recent version of the modified apout is available for download: apout-2.3.gray.1.tar.gz.
Two more pieces from s1-fragments were decoded, namely:
| frag57 | goto.c | the goto command |
| frag64 | hyphen.c | the hyphen command |
