I"m not sure where the info for ROOSTA went. I distinctly remember typing it in! Then again, people keep hassling me at work this morning, so I probably typed it into an IRC window by mistake!

I dread to think what else might be on it ... Chrissie On 21 Oct 2009, at 10:21, Christine Caulfield wrote: On 21/10/09 10:07, Sampsa Laine wrote: Does ROOSTA have a proxy setup for the SYSTEM user? When I DIR ROOSTA from RHESUS (as SYSTEM), I seem to get your SYS$MANAGER: directory.... Eek! I had *::* */def I have now removed it!

I already wrote a little DCL script that crawls the HECnet and collects all the INFO.TXT files that it can find (so far there are eight, counting mine) and if enough people adopt this format I'll write another little script to parse out the node information. The format is pretty straight forward - you can just type out CODA::INFO.TXT and see for yourself. I've added an INFO.TXT to ROOSTA Chrissie
