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! WOOO!
{
printf("Hello guise\n");
}
---- END ----
Also where is the equivalent of resolv.conf on these machines? 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. Going
to maybe try to get this beast from the 70s of UNIX hell onto UUHECNET, it said it
installed UUCP...
Oh and if anyone solves the riddle I set in Punic / Akkadian, I'm sending them
something cool from the souk in Jbeil..:)
IP works in and out but name resolution doesn't (resolv.conf is there, I can ping
8.8.8.8 but the system is just like "huh?"), I wonder if that apk nutjob still
makes those 100 MB hosts files..

OK, so any tips on making an ULTRIX box a tad
more modern? The terminal definitions are all weird and the C compiler is from the 70s...
Is there a nice set of BSD / GNU tools I can install on this? Or is this it?
Ha ha ha... We're talking Ultrix here. You'll be lucky to find software that will
even compile without you having to jump through all kind of hoops...
You might want to start by replacing the whole syslog on that thing. We used to run
Ultrix at Update a number of years ago, and got most things upgraded. It was a pain, and
nowadays it will probably be an even greater pain.
