Caps-11

Does anybody have the PDP-11 CAPS-11 sources?

Lou Ernst had them. Reference https://groups.google.com/g/alt.sys.pdp11/c/WAZa8hJOwk0/m/LFPMwSLyiQEJ That was 10 years ago so I don't know the current status.

Lou Ernst had them.

I saw this post. But what interests me is who has now.

Lou hasn’t been around since December 2019.

On the other hand I found this thread where a person, pm100, got the full source from Lou in 2020.

Perhaps you seen that thread as well?

Also in the comments ...

Lou says in another post that he's given it to the appropriate place for archiving, but not who that is. I suppose the PDP-11 people in the group would all know. Also of note, it comes up a couple of times in that thread that nobody could find the manual and that's the one piece that today is easy to find on the internet. – hippietrail Jun 28 '20 at 5:15

So Al Kossow might have them.

It isn't on bitsavers, and I didn't see the message from a year ago saying they had a copy.

I may have picked it up but i'll have to dig through my backups if I did

Unfortunately, I have to troll around to find things, and sometimes stuff like this is missed if I'm not actually
contacted about it existing

I've still got copies of the tapes I sent to Lou, along with manuals for CAPS-11 and BASIC CAPS-11. Lou collected all this stuff in 2011. Happy to zip it all up and send it to Al if that's OK.
