Code found

I found ELF source files and maybe some binaries in the Saildart archive. I'm trying to contact several of the developers: Retz, Casner, Raveling. The consensus seems to be it's ARPA-funded public domain work. Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 08:07, 28 October 2021 (CEST)

I have heard back from Casner, Raveling, and Miller who all support putting ELF on GitHub. Miller told me Retz is no longer with us. :-( Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 08:09, 12 November 2021 (CET)
There seems to be a lot of stuff still missing from the Github; I was looking for the ANTS/ISI device driver (to do an article on it), but couldn't find it, although I looked at most of the .M11 files (I did find part of the VDH code - I don't think the underlying sync interface code is in what I glanced at). And there are a bunch of ELFxxx.O11 files (which are, I assume, binary; for the OS modules) - but where are the matching M11 files? (We could disassemble them, but we'd be missing the comments - so crucial for assembler code). Jnc (talk) 09:02, 12 November 2021 (CET)
