There's a version for modern Unices: http://fsv.sourceforge.net/

Also, this gets posted on HN quite regularly :)

I always worry about posting 'repeated' links (as you can tell I'm a bit new to HN). Is there an accepted way to lessen this?

Don't worry, someone will tell you.

If it's "hacker folklore" (I think this counts) and it's not a brand-new account by one of the guys who were there, it's probably already been posted ;)

I once bought an SGI Indy for $20 just to try to run that one program, but I got bogged down with the complex process required to install IRIX and threw the box out when I moved.

Does anyone here know if the Jurassic Park infrastructure was ever documented anywhere, based on the nuggets of information in the books and films?

I realise that wouldn't have much real world value, but it would be fun to read through.
