Hi,
I've had my machine (TARDIS) offline for a while due to moving house, being hospitalised and then going on holiday.
So, now I've come to restart the thing, it seems my licenses have expired, which shouldn't have happened until September. Could this be down to moving the simh instance to a new machine and giving it a new ip address?
Anyway, where do i get the licenses from again? All the addresses I had either don't work, or give me completely unrelated websites.

(probably being stupid again)
My apologies if some find this as spam, but I suspect this group might also find this a worth while read.
Full discloser, I have known John since 1983 or 1984 (I do not remember when we were co-worked at the firm he talks about in the article [Masscomp]. I have also read of number of his books and liked them. In my role as President of USENIX, I allowed John to hawk his books at some of our conferences, but other than buying his books, I have never given him $s.

Note: I predated John at Masscomp (and I think he left for Sun before I left for Stellar). I have mentioned previously on this list that MSCP was an early 1980s a start up with a lot of ex-VMS/VAX guys (that predated Sun and actually did $20M in business the year Sun did it's first $1M).. Tim, Janet and I shared a card table as our first desk. I think John and Steve did get hired until we expanded to the 2 bldg in Littleton and kicked SW out. Everything in the piece WRT to Masscomp I will valid as true, and like John; when I have run into Tim in the past few years I'm not sure he recognized me either [although unlike John, I do still exchange christmas cards with Steve Talbot and just two weeks ago got an email from Tim about something else].
I completely agree with John's point about about Eric Raymond too BTW. And John makes a side bar, that "open source" being co-opted from the 60s. He's stumbled on that right. I have always said the "father" of Open Source was the late Prof Donald O. Peterson (aka dop) from what he did in the late 1960s. But that's a story for another time.

Right there with you. I haven't had TV reception capability in my home in
about fifteen years. Pure garbage, and I have no time to waste!
I decided to put a nice TV from the '80s in my bedroom. I can watch 99 channels of snow now!
Far more stimulating than most "reality" shows.

There's a veterinary specialty if ever I heard one -- Yeti doctors.
But wouldn't yeti just pay visit to a Nepalese shaman?

Hello!
Not that kind of Doctor, Brian.
One who's been everywhere and done everything imaginable for all off
his eleven lives and 900 years worth of living them. And one who's
been keeping that national television station across the Pond going
for all of 50 years.
Surely the clue must be obvious to all of you, in my e-mail address
and the signature.
However this really does not explain why there's extreme mischief
going on in a state founded by someone who later turned up on a
cylinder of oats.
I do hate to burst your bubble, considering the superb weather of this
Memorial Day, but Dr. Who[*] is/was not real. ;)
[*] Substitute Star Wars or Star Trek for Dr. Who in the above to suit
your peculiar Sci-Fi fantasy infatuation.
Respectfully,
Brian, who believes that the best thing television has to offer is the
off switch.
I disagree with your opinion, and because this is the internet you are wrong. ;)
The best thing television has to offer is test patterns. ;)

I wish I didn't! Paying for cable is a waste of money. My grand-daughters
sit and watch the same mind-numbing kiddie shows over and over. The worst
has been the stupid Alvin chipmunk movies. I'd love to feed those animated
rodents some rat poison but, considering what it's costing me to swallow rat
rat poison daily, I'd settle for bashing them over the head with a shovel.
Wow! This thread seems to have exploded when I asked for moderation... :-/

Hello!
We all need something to believe in. Which sadly is why I tend to
disagree with certain individuals not on this list.

Hi Mark,
According to
http://man.he.net/man1/unzip
the "--D" option can be used under VMS to restore directory timestamps.
Would this zip/unzip route do what you want?
The unzip on my system is too old, otherwise I would have tried it...

Yes, I thought about LD as a solution, but presumably I'd then have the issue of tens of devices mounted, how would I present that in a hierarchical structure suitable for browsing via either decline or wasd web server?
Thanks for the suggestions.

Yeah! I really didn't think about it. Maybe that's the best solution. It all
depends on what the OP means by "archiving". If he wants files readily
accessible anywhere by anyone (e.g. via browser), the LD solution would be
very nice, otherwise /IMAGE would be the best, I think. Mine was a trick...

Eric,
I will look into ZIP/UNZIP as an option - I got to the point of having the software compiled but then went down the saveset route.
Hi
psilo.update.uu.se is going down for maintenance tomorrow morning. We are getting new system drives and replacing a fan. Should be up again by evening time
I haven't followed the HECnet list so closely, but Psilo does some hecnet routing. How much do you guys depend on Psilo? You are more than welcome to do so, I'm just curious.
(well, the mailing list is also run from Psilo.. so there is that)
/P
