Was anyone ever crazy enough to try to implement any DECnet bits for
4.3BSD?
I doubt it was very highly demanded, thus the "crazy" bit. I'd
consider trying to implement it myself, but I don't know C, BSD
internals, or in-depth DECnet info and the craziest I've done is
gotten a crippled Perl 5 built on Quasijarus. (while i'm on that
topic, anyone ever manage to build autoconf/automake on 4.3BSD?) My
eventual end goal is to build irssi on 4.3BSD and ignoring the fact
it's pretty much impossible.
I've just built the old ircII stuff... and that was involved to say the
least. the University of Wisconsin version of 4.3 BSD seemed more
usable as its got some SUN magic in there like NFS and various other
cleanups ...
4.3 with NFS and stuff? Are you sure you are not talking about 4.3 Reno?
