Johnny,
There is a serious problem with your database thing, it
must be corrupting the GEO coordinates:
59.858612 17.638744 is the central square in Uppsala, MIN::
is located at abt:
59.84145130853427, 17.647929315759676
--P
(I did my basic military service in one of the buildings where UU is
located today,and we had several things that used lat/long that we
trained on in the field between Dag Hammarskjolds V}g and the buildings...)

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
