I've been cleaning up the hard disks in my Cromemco
systems in preparation for getting rid of them (no,
they're not available at this time), and I have a
question:

There are numerous systems out there, and Herb and
Howard et al are doing a great job of archiving the
documentation, but what about the software? Is
anybody archiving the various versions of CDOS,
Cromix & Unix, and the languages & applications?

For that matter, is there any point? I don't see
many people writing Cobol or Fortran programs to
run on a System 3...

So, any ideas what to do with it? (no obscene
suggestions, please!)

BTW, any news about what happened with Don Maslin's
collection?
