Aha. Thanks. I have never tested that one. I always find even the mode
extremely annoying...
2. Trivial Virtual File System (TVFS) is the RFC that
specifies a
common syntax, essentially codifying Unix syntax.? That's
unfortunate because when you blow away most of the punctuation, you
limit your search abilities.
Thanks. Yes, TVFS was what I was trying to remember. Yes, it is
annoying, and some clients goes and dies immediately if they don't get
information in that silly format. I implemented it for RSX, and trigger
it when a client does a "cwd /", since most such clients also does that
first of all.
"fun"?? Dear me...? Actually, what really
drove me crazy was TENEX paged
file structures; I was months getting that right.
That sounds way too complicated. I don't think any specific feature or
detail in my RSX servers ever have taken more than a day or two to
implement. But I do feel that some things are silly.
But I should also admit that I've only implemented things I felt I
needed, so I've skipped some stuff which supposedly is mandatory. Noone
complained (yet).
