Hi All,
After some effort, I got an PDP-11/93 (simh) online running RSX-11M+ 4.6
bl 87. It is reachable as ROJIN (1.542) and I've configured a guest
account on this box if anyone is interested in nosing around on this
sytem. Do note, I just have about 2 weeks of experience with rsx, so be
gentle with me :)
Kind Regards,
Lex van Roon

Speaking of which, I was wondering if maybe Johnny thinks it would be
a good idea to add a column to the web-based node list which shows
whether or not the particular system has a guest account, or offers
user accounts? The question of which nodes are "open" comes up on the
list now and again, and I don't remember there being any authoritative
list.
Regards,
Mark

I could certainly add various bits of information, but it might become a
bit unwieldy to manage that information locally.
In the past there was the suggestion that people have an INFO.TXT in the
default account for DECnet. Any such file will be displayed by another
page I have on MIM.
See for example http://mim.update.uu.se/hecnet?node=mim
There have also been suggestions for standardizing the format of that
file. I don't think my example might be following any such standards,
and I'm not sure how important/useful that could be.
But I think it's a better system for giving random information about
nodes than the nodename database, as there can be all kind of odd
information you can put there.

I was wondering about this myself as well, how do you actually find
interesting things on HECnet without actively probing anything? The
INFO.TXT does seem to be a good thing for this, and by looking at it, I
need to start getting things into order :)

There is no one good place for all of this.
Someone could certainly create a site if they wanted to. The problem is
keeping it up to date. Information goes stale, and some machines come
and go.
I don't have any good solution except people putting some manual work
in. Automated systems are also difficult.
Apart from that, people occasionally announce their services on this
list. However, sometimes its more a wish to provide a service than
actually having a service that people are looking for.
All this said, MIM, as people probably know, are where I keep the HECnet
nodename database. It's actually done in Datatrieve, and the nodename
database in DECnet on MIM is generated from this Datatrieve source. The
web service also use Datatrieve as the backend.
In addition to the nodename database, MIM also hosts the BQTCP package
for RSX, along with KERMIT-11 for RSX, NEMA, and as much RSX
documentation as I have managed to lay my hands on (well, there are
still a few manuals that I have not made available, but I'm working on
that). And of course, MIM is also available to log into for random
people, either through the guest account, or by requesting an account of
their own.
I have pretty much all DECUS tapes on MIM, and should try to make it
more easily accessible some day, and I'm starting to consider if I
should make the RSX layered software tapes that I have available as
well, but I still feel a bit uncomfortable on that one.

With difficulty I'd say :-)
Hecnet members own a wide variety of hardware and tend to hang on to spare parts and
software kits as if their lives depend on them.
If you have a specific question then it gets answered here?, no doubt. Software kits,
whatever version of a product you need, are generally easy to get here.

Ah silly me - I am looking for the DODGEM and LIGHTCYCLE games and
posted the following at comp.os.vms to no response, it looks like Johnny
or someone here may have these, and if so, may I? Thanks in advance.
Hi all - David Wilkinson's Dodgem is listed in the DECUS catalog for The
VAX Library Collection 2 Version: 1992/1993. However I cannot find the
BASIC source or an EXE (or am I blind?)
Same for LIGHTCYCLE (i.e. cannot locate EXE or source).
Anyone has any pointers? There are youtube videos of folks playing them
on good old VT220s ...

No problem, Johnny.
Left a note under the youtube video by Mark Wickens - it is possible he
is also subscribed to this list.
Thanks.

Ah silly me - I am looking for the DODGEM and
LIGHTCYCLE games and
posted the following at comp.os.vms to no response, it looks like Johnny
or someone here may have these, and if so, may I? Thanks in advance.
Hi all - David Wilkinson's Dodgem is listed in the DECUS catalog for The
VAX Library Collection 2 Version: 1992/1993. However I cannot find the
BASIC source or an EXE (or am I blind?)
Same for LIGHTCYCLE (i.e. cannot locate EXE or source).
Anyone has any pointers? There are youtube videos of folks playing them
on good old VT220s ...

Hecnet members own a wide variety of hardware and tend to hang on to
spare parts and software kits as if their lives depend on them.
If you have a specific question then it gets answered here?, no
doubt. Software kits, whatever version of a product you need, are
generally easy to get here.

I was wondering about this myself as well, how do you actually find
interesting things on HECnet without actively probing anything? The
INFO.TXT does seem to be a good thing for this, and by looking at it, I
need to start getting things into order :)

Yes indeed. I need to get a little more proactive in advertising the event
now.
I'm even hoping that Johnny might join us one year :)

You do know that any nodenames are local to each machine? So a name like
ROJIN will not be known by anyone even if you have set it up on your
machine.
The closest thing we have in HECnet is that I try to keep a nodename
database that people can copy information from on MIM. So people can
report to me if they want a name known to a larger group. But even that
is not a guarantee that other machines know about the name.

Hi All,

account on this box if anyone is interested in nosing around on this
sytem. Do note, I just have about 2 weeks of experience with rsx, so be

Yes, and in all my excitedness I forgot to ask if you could add the
system to the node database :S On my own systems I've got a script which
pulls the node database from MIM, and adds local entries.
Could you add the following system to the database?
name: ROJIN
address: 1.542
arch: PDP-11
cpu: PDP-11/93 (simh)
os: RSX-11M-PLUS V4.6
location: Amersfoort, NL
