For many years, it was Steven Schultz, and he would post patches to comp.bugs.2bsd. I don't know if he's still doing it, nor do I have contact information for him. Patch #490 is from this year, and is on http://www.2bsd.com/2.11BSD/, or the TUHS website, along with other patches (https://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Distributions/UCB/2.11BSD/Patches/). Looks like Frank Wortner uploaded it. - Dan C.

I was going to reverse the process to make a full git history, but never proceeded to that before time demands from other projects made me put this aside.

From jsg at jsg.id.au Thu Aug 7 11:36:47 2025 From: jsg at jsg.id.au (Jonathan Gray) Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2025 11:36:47 +1000 Subject: [TUHS] CSIRO Unix Message-ID: CSIRO is an Australian government research agency with a long history. Siromath, a commercial spinoff, had a binary redistribution license for Unix. The Siromath Unix was called SIRONIX. The Australian Unison computer was sold with SIRONIX. Siromath was also going to provide a version of Unix for the DCR/CSIRONET workstation. At some point they switched to a port of System V/68 from Neology/Softway. Does anyone know why? Or if the CSIRONET workstation got beyond the prototype stage? Did it get cancelled when CSIRONET was privatised? For more background notes see https://github.com/jonathangray/csiro-unix
