[sniffing DECNET packets] That is only as to be expected, and you cannot draw any conclusions from that. Except I have to buy a managed switch if I want to join HECNET. NETGEAR has a small, inexpensive 5-port Gigabit with port mirorring, the GS105E, and I like their little blue boxes. More editors would always be fun. That was one of the first programs I've written for the PDP-11, before EDT existed, to get rid of those pesky line editors. I miss it because it could handle more than 24 lines. We had a full-page VT with 60 or so lines i can't remember the brand, and that was a real delight compared to the TV100s. I have found 3 portable EDT clones on the Internet, see bottom of page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDT_(text_editor) One of them is written in pre-ANSI C (func(a, b) int a, b;) but the best candidate to porting is written with ANSI prototypes. I have the old DECUS C, invoked by C.. with the proto thing (CN.PRO). Although the proto refers to a 'std' flag, pretending to "force the input to conform to ANSI C draft standard", this doesn't work. I've tried with your version this afternoon (XCC on MIME) with a same result. I'm trying to use Linux's deprotoize tool to pre-process the source. If you have 1/2" tapes you want read, I can do that. I have a 11/70 with a TU81 ready for such occasions. :-) A REAL TU81? I can't believe it... Perhaps you can save my tapes. Here is my regretted 11/60: http://www2.pescadoo.net/pdp/11-60.jpg with dual RK07, home-build A/D and D/A, 2 RP storing (imagine that) 20 minutes of stereo sound each, well before the Compact Disc. It has been donated to a school, which could never power it up, lacking a tri-phase power supply. I was assuming matapes were a safe backup. I learned that paper was better, as the only piece of software which survived is the listing of a terminal driver. -- Jean-Yves Bernier
