This is mostly for Tim and Paul, but I figured to cross-post in case any
one might have seen this before (before I lob thy Holy Hand Grenade).
1. In cleaning up some of my old paperwork, I stumbled across a fanfold
. paper copy of "RSTS/E System Programmer's Notebook" page 3 (no 1-2)
. followed by Chapters 1-5 and Appendix A, B pages 1-5. The bottom of
. the Preface reads:
.
. "What follows is a sermon, it is not a Gospel."
.
. A section on the first page of Appendix A has a paragraph that says:
.
. CAUTION
. The PPEK sequences described in this (sic. I presume PEEK)
. document are not a part of the supported
. functionality of RSTS/E V6C as described
. in the RSTS/E Software Product Description.
.
Has anyone seen/read this before, know who wrote it, have a digital copy
that could be distributed out, or am I destined to type it back in so all
can read (it is good material on old yellowed crackly fanfold paper)???
2. I lost a very good friend (coworker) this week to MI (he was 66). We
. were coteaching a class online Tuesday night and Wednesday morning he
. was gone. :( I have inherited 2 of his classes and wish to do the
. best job I can for his students, honor his legacy, and live up to the
. praise and respect he gave me that he disclosed to his students.
.
One of these classes is on command line and the text is linux specific.
While I love my linux machines, there has always been a natural flow when
typing commands on pretty much any DEC OS (a person kind of has to acquire
a little bit of tourette's tics to be competent with *nix). Can someone
in the group provide me with a few accounts to connect to so his students
can see something other than linux??? I think I used to have an account
on CHIMPY, but that has been a while back.
3. Does anyone have a current HECnet map, so that said students could
. see how HECnet is set up and navigate a couple of different machines?
That's all. Sorry to be such a hermit. I rarely poke my head out into
the world, but this time I felt it was for a just cause. :-)
