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