[HECnet] JBEIL IS UP! (was Re: ULTRIX DECNET LMF?)

I know what it is, I've just never used a compiler in my life that ONLY does K&R.. But if you don't declare the parameter types they're assumed to be ints right, which works a lot of the time if a point is the size of an int and you're passing pointers around..No? sampsa On 24 Apr 2015, at 10:50, Johnny Billquist <bqt at softjar.se> wrote: > On 2015-04-24 06:34, Sampsa Laine wrote: >> Yeah it's insane, Hello World wouldn't compile until I changed it into this format: >> >> ---- SNIP ---- >> #include <stdio.h> >> int main(argc,argv) <--------- Type declarations, who needs that crap, everything's an int!

I'm going to leave this instance up and running, just for the hell of it - DECNET works (had to hack the config files that load it up to get a node database since there's no NCP COPY KNOWN NODES command lol) in and out, the address is JBEIL (8.225) and the current guest account is riddle/riddle. >> >> Leave a message, sendmail (urgh) is running, it's set up to deliver local mail.
