I've added the first version of this file to RHESUS::[HECNETHLP]HECNET.HLP
There's also a script in there that updates your HELP library straight from RHESUS:: called UPDHECNETHELP.COM

After just converting a bunch of informational text files into VMS HELP files and realizing how easy the process was, I thought of an idea - a HECNET.HLP file to supplement the Info Server on RHESUS:: etc.
Basically, if you have a node on HECnet, just send me what you have in INFO.TXT (and/or other information about your system) and I will add them to a central HECNET.HLP file, which will be placed on RHESUS:: for your convenient downloading.
Importing the help file
-----------------------
LIBRARY/REPLACE/HELP SYS$HELP:HELPLIB.HLB HECNET.HLP
Format
------
The format basically goes:
<number> Section heading
<number + 1> Subsection heading
<number> Next section heading
Please start your numbering at 2, as section 1 will be general info about HECnet (prob pulled from the website).
The quick and easy way is to just paste 2 <NODE NAME> to the top of your info.txt and send it to me.
Exempli gratia of format:

I took some quick cell phone pics the other day for someone else who
asked. The lighting was poor and things weren't well-staged, but here
they are:

I'm sorry for the poor quality. I'll take proper pics when I get
things organized a bit in here.

Now if only I could completely figure out your naming scheme. ;)
What's it's highest uptime?

Hey Johnny,
I made some errors when submitting some nodes previously
9.15 should be TSTBD1, and 9.21 should be MELODY
Apologies, I've had to deal with moving node names around and it got a bit messy. ;)

It's not quiet. ;) It makes a very low "rumble". It's

I'd expect a system like that to make a fitting sound. ;)
