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
couple of reports for fun.
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. :-)

Hi,
I'm doing some reconfiguration of routers and firewalls here, so
my hecnet tunnels may bounce a few times over the next several days.

Regarding the spam msg itself, according to previous history with this,
there is no hijacking of accounts involved, just someone faking the
sender address. Checking the headers of this msg show it to be sent
from somewhere in Ukraine...
