We had NCP running on the JHU kernel
Which NCP implementation was that, the one from UIUC, or something else? (I'm
curious about the one that someone here - I forget who - mentioned, where
IIRC they thought it was a new one, not the UIUC one. I'm a little boggled
that with so little use for one - there weren't many NCP sites - someone
would have gone to all the work to do another one. But it's possible...)
If you all used the UIUC one, what did you call it? I looked through the email
about releases from NOSC (who seemed to be the focal point for maintaining
it at one point):
https://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=SRI-NOSC/new/dist.log
but it doesn't give a name for it. The documentation:
https://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=SRI-NOSC/doc/IllinoisNCP.nr
doesn't either (other than 'Illinois NCP').
It does seem that they were semi-using V7; see e.g.:
https://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=SRI-NOSC/green/c.c
but the code looks very V6-ish; see e.g.:
https://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=SRI-NOSC/ken/text.c
