Was anyone ever crazy enough to try to implement any DECnet bits for 4.3BSD?
I doubt it was very highly demanded, thus the "crazy" bit. I'd consider
trying to implement it myself, but I don't know C, BSD internals, or in-depth DECnet
info and the craziest I've done is gotten a crippled Perl 5 built on Quasijarus.
(while i'm on that topic, anyone ever manage to build autoconf/automake on 4.3BSD?) My
eventual end goal is to build irssi on 4.3BSD and ignoring the fact it's pretty much
impossible.
I've just built the old ircII stuff... and that was involved to say the least. the
University of Wisconsin version of 4.3 BSD seemed more usable as its got some SUN magic
in there like NFS and various other cleanups ...
I haven't looked at irssi as I'd imagine it'd be ... involved.
