Back in September I was having serious DNS issues with my MX records. Finally was able to move to a new DNS provider. Could someone add me (jra(a)andrusk.com) back to the mailing list? Thanks, Justin Sent from ProtonMail mobile

CSRG at berkeley

by ron minnich

the discussion of why the CSRG disbanded in 1995 has come up elsewhere. My memory is that the reason was pretty simple: DARPA ended their funding at that time. Hoping for corrections to my memory :-)

Re: [TUHS] ratfor vibe

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

> From: Clem Cole > So by the late 70s/early 80s, [except for MIT where LISP/Scheme reigned] Not quite. The picture is complicated, because outside the EECS department, they all did their own thing - e.g. in the mid-70's I took a programming intro couse in the Civil Engineering department which used Fortran. But in EECS, in the mid-70's, their intro programming course used assembler (PDP-11), Algol, and LISP - very roughly, a third of the time in each. Later on, I think it used CLU (hey, that was MIT-grown :-). I think Scheme was used later. In both of these cases, I have no idea if it was _only_ CLU/Scheme, or if they did part of it in other languages. Noel

FYI: Internet Old Farts Club

by Rich Morin

Some of the folks here might like this FB group... Internet Old Farts Club https://www.facebook.com/groups/internetoldfarts/ > This group is for self-declared Internet Old Farts, who want to discuss any aspect of the the Internet or its history. People in this group had their bits walk up hill both ways. > Welcome to the Internet Old Farts group. The purpose of this group is both social and technical. Feel free to revisit the past, explore the future, grouse about technical problems that you or others created. Feel free to self-aggrandize, complain about your least favorite standards organization or its politics, and how those young whippersnappers are running the show today. By participating in this group you are admitting or proclaiming that you are indeed an Internet Old Fart. Perhaps we should give a prize for the youngest and oldest Old Fart. -r

Ratfor s

by Will Senn

Has anyone seen Fraser's original ratfor source for the s editor for unix on the PDP-11. It was a screen editor front-end built on top of Software Tools's edit. I've seen a c version, but I'm interested in the 375 line version :). Will Sent from my iPhone

Compilation "vs" byte-code interpretation, was Re: Looking back to 1981 - what pascal was popular on what unix?

by silas poulson

Resending this as realised accidentally replied off list Silas On 30 Jan 2022, at 18:39, silas poulson <silas8642(a)hotmail.co.uk<mailto:silas8642@hotmail.co.uk>> wrote: On 30 Jan 2022, at 18:07, Dan Stromberg <drsalists(a)gmail.com<mailto:drsalists@gmail.com>> wrote: And is Java? They both have a byte code interpreter. My understanding is Java is both a compiled and interpreted language - with javac compiling java code to byte code and then JVM interpreting and executing the byte code. And then there's the CPython implementation of Python. <snip> Granted, it has an implicit, cached compilation step, but is it less compiled for that? I would so no - in my mind compiling analyses the entire source and then translates it whilst interpreters only explore a single line or expression. Simply because the compilation happens only Just In Time, doesn’t make it any less of a compilation step. Hope that helps, Silas

One more arch 4.4BSD binary set, luna68k on nono OMRON LUNA emulator

by MOCHIDA Shuji

One of architechture supported by 4.4BSD, luna68k's compiled binary is now available. http://www.netside.co.jp/~mochid/comp/bsd44-build/ luna68k is OMRON LUNA, m68k cpu workstation. This binary set works on "nono" emulator software. http://www.pastel-flower.jp/~isaki/nono/ It's author, Isaki-san have done some minor modification for 4.4BSD, binary set for luna68k run rather well. OMRON, already dropped thier workstation products. LUNA-I, LUNA-II equipped with m68k, same CPU as CSRG's main target arch hp300. So userland programs may binary compatible. -mochid

4.3 BSD network name resolution

by Will Senn

I'm working through 4.3BSD setup and configuration and came across this: "There is no equivalent service for network names yet. The full host and network name databases are normally derived from a file retrieved from Internet Network Information Center at SRI... use gettable to retrieve the NIC host database and htable to convert it to the format used by the libraries." Does this mean I should expect functionality like resolv.conf and ping yahoo.com not to work in 4.3, or by some miracle is gettable still a functional system? Will Sent from my iPhone
