I've been having similar results.  I have also hooked a friend  into looking at C code for the date command and such to try to fix the Y2k issues.  I have had the system up for 15 days and it's been very stable.  I'm having a blast with it,  but it is frustrating not being able to get PERL running for example.  Do you have the binaries for 2.7.2.3 packed up so I don't have to compile again?

I'm curious to see what version you have on that tape.  If it's more recent than 2.03 I think you are my new friend.  :-)  

I have AMIX on a 3.1 system and it works perfect.

Hey Failure, if you have those files on the AMIX machine, how are they longer than 14 characters?  Is there some hack to display files longer than that limit?

Um, yes.  S5.  Oops.  Didn't know that one.  It's fixed now.  I'm running Berkeley and it works much much better.

2.1.  Yey!  I hope it works.  If it does make an image of that tape first thing.

Most likely a wise precaution. :-)  A working 2.1 build would be great.   Maybe Failure could alter his install scripts to grab that source.   :-o

@Failure

A Hard Disk dump is fine with me.  The kitchen sink install is better than no install at all.  :-)
