Logging into a 4 BSD system
Type: Multitasking, multiuser
Creator: CSRG
Architecture: VAX, theoretically portable
This Version: 4.0 (1980)
Date Released: 1980


4.0 BSD improves uppon the 3 BSD release with curses, better job control, csh, and "reliable signals"..

How do I get this to run?!

Right now, make sure you have the VAX-11/780 emulator from SIMH 3.8-0 or higher, then go to http://zazie.tom-yam.or.jp/starunix/ for more information.
