Could please someone check this file:

http://www.tiffe.de/Robotron/PDP-VAX/VAX/4BSD/Distributions/4.3/qjsrc-se53pra0.tar.gz
(or this one:
http://www.tiffe.de/Robotron/PDP-VAX/VAX/4BSD/Distributions/4.3/qjsrc-se53pra0.tar.Z)
against the repo?

If I remember correctly it contains some patches from Michael Sokolov not
contained in 0c.
I've had some conversations with him in the past, had a 0c running on a
KA630 System with Emulex UC08 and a 8Gig Tandberg Tape drive.

Regards,

Holm
