I'm thinking the point isn't: if only there were a nice editor, any
editor, that fits on RSX (those of us who grew up on EDT generally *love*
it already, and TECO is its own religion), but rather to accommodate
people's muscle memory and accept the commands they were already going to
type whether they meant to or not (which is why E11's built-in editor goes
in the other direction and uses the EDT/KED keypad layout).

Is anyone maintaining an up-to-date DECdns server based off of Johnny's nodedb?
I've recently set up an emulated VAX (simh) at 61.152 called ENKIDU,
running OpenVMS 7.3. I was hoping to use DECdns for simple node name
resolution. In the interim I'm using Jordi's DECdns server (which he
mentioned a while ago), but it doesn't appear to be as up to date with
the official nodedb as I'd like. :)
Thanks,
Mark
Can somebody update the cisco tunnel configs and send me the tunnel configs? My current IP is 50.131.150.11 - I will get a cisco VM up when I get home
(no PSUs for the working routers I have...)

Way to go! Very impressive.

I agree. The days of dozens of choices of real terminals are long over,
so the amount of extra work you'd do just for that one time that someone
dusts off a Teleray 1061 just to open one file and then turn it off forever,
is really not worth it. Expecting someone doing real work to find an ANSI
terminal is totally fair.

Yes, I know about it.
I actually did sortof an Emacs clone in TECO-8 many years ago. It's
actually pretty easy to do a decent implementation in TECO. The problem
is that you cannot really edit large files. TECO-8 and TECO-11 can edit
arbitrarily large files, but only as a stream. You read in a page of the
file (where a "page" is a bit loosely defined), you edit it, and then
you pass it on to the output, and read in the next page. At that point,
you cannot go back to a previous page anymore. And all editing is
happening within the buffer that you have in memory. So all addressing
is done local to the page you have in memory.
So, while cool, and somewhat fun, it have some rather severe limitations
if you want to edit large files. And this is a TECO-11 limitation, and
cannot really be solved in a good way by any code written inside
TECO-11. What I did for my implementation for TECO-8 was that I keep a
count of which page I was on, and if I wanted to go backwards, I had to
close the file, reopen it, and read from the beginning until I was at
the previous page, and then work from there.

I have a tape with a VMS backup saveset. It has a directory tree on the tape
[foo]
[foo.bar]
[foo.bar.barf]
How do I (backup command line) restore the tape as a subdirectry and have
backup to create the needed directories under my new "root" like [tapes]?
Say that I want to put it under
[tapes.foo]
[tapes.foo.bar]
etc

Hello!
I have now confirmed that the Cat2960G series is the fellow who use F/O bundles as its preferred means managing a link to it. Does anyone have an idea as to the style of connecting F/O styles?
Gregg on that.

Hey Peter,
Do you have the serial pinouts for your SC-40 handy?
Mine has had miswired FE terminal ports from day one and I'd like to
finally fix that. ;)
However, mine came with zero manuals or documentation!

Since the nodename database is in Datatrieve, I figured I could write a

So here they are: http://mim.update.uu.se/hecrep
Grouped both by owners and by architecture. Apart from the unknown
category, VAXen are the most numerous at 148, while MIPS the least
common, at 1. :-)
