[HECnet] Central nodename database lookup tool

Hi, all. If you are running an RSX system on HECnet, and you'd like a simple command line tool to check some information about other nodes, as it is registered in the Datatrieve database I keep on MIM, I've written one now. It does require that you have the PDP-11 C runtime libraries installed (they are installed as a part of BQTCP, and also exists as a component in RPM). Just grab MIM::HECNET:DDB.TSK, install it, and off you go. If you want the sources (it's really simple) they can be found at MIM::HECNET:DDB.C and you also have a Makefile there that compiles it for you, in case you want to experiment some. Example run: .ddb mim Node:???? MIM Address:? 1.13 Owner:??? Johnny Billquist OS:?????? RSX-11M-PLUS V4.6 CPU:????? PDP-11/74 (e11) Created:? 12 Nov 2011 12:00:00 Modified: 02 May 2020 19:45:49 Loc:????? Uppsala, Sweden Coord:??? 59.858612,17.638744 . I just thought it could be useful to have sometimes, and it's also a good exercise in interfacing between Datatrieve and PDP-11 C. ? Johnny
