Last weekend I was able to retrieve the complete sourcecode for Medos, the Lilith operating system. Alas not the latest version ( would be 5.2 ) but the somewhat earlier version 4.2.

All this was found on a disk I loaned from a museum in Berne. It seems to be the standard disk that was delivered with the Lilith systems.
File transfer was done by kermit ( at 9600 bd...) between my Lilith and a laptop running Linux.

Also sourcecode for the Modula compiler itself and for a great number of standard Lilith applications has been saved.

I will do some cleaning up and make i.e. ( the Medos part ) available.
