Hi.  I've got an interesting request.  Two of the crazy computer
science people here at Temple insist on putting a PDP-8 up on the
Department's LAT network.  It seems like a neat idea, and I 
know (think?) that before Unix was ported to C/PDP-11 assembly, it
was running in assembly on some older kind of PDP.  Does anyone
have any idea whether Unix for the PDP 8 ever existed/is available/
could be donated/could be written by a crazy bunch of people?
