[DECtalk] MAC

[shaun everiss]

the easiest thing is to get source.
Most of the system I had in the early  90s was done by a programmer friend of mine.
Basic dos 6.22, but although it looked like dos, it had linux commands in it.
Unfortunately I lost half the os so although I still have the os itself I have lost 1mb of utilities including such things as mv, rm, wc and others.
I have still the beep and sysback commands for simple backup but I really would like that disk back as this was the early days where he wasn't married and worked on a cross platform system all day and night compiling little pieces of crap for me.
