Astolaf.24 net.news.newsite utcsrgv!utzoo!decvax!duke!chico!harpo!cbosg!ihnss!ihps3!stolaf!sys Fri Feb 5 17:48:22 1982 Hello world\n A big hello to all intelligent life forms out there, and to all you others, the secret is to bang the rocks together, guys. Saint Olaf College is now officially on USENET (or whatever it is to be called). We are lucky enough to have a purely academic computer center (the administration keep to themselves on their system/38) where we hack day and night (when not playing rogue). site name: stolaf path: ihnss!ihps3!stolaf site rep: Alan Hastings address: Academic Computer Center St. Olaf College Northfield, MN 55057 contacts: hastings Alan Hastings, G.U.R.U. sft Steve Tarr, H.A.C.K.R. berger Peter Berger, Academic Programmer lacroix Les Lacroix, manager at Carleton College root or sys general contact uucp links: ihps3, ihuxl, rose These sites poll us; we have no dialer...yet... We run A news (where oh where is B news?) and receive news from ihuxl, soon to be ihps3, and pass stuff on to rose (Rosemount Engineering, Inc). We will probably have the U. of Minn. VAX polling us soon. Stay tuned. Carleton runs VMS and hopes to run EUNICE soon. Les would like to hear from anybody running UUCP under EUNICE. Briefly, we have a medium 11/70 running combat-zone V7 (security hacks). Other changes include nifty terminal driver to allow graphics tty line disciplines, device independent graphics language implemented in C, F77, F4P, and DEC BASIC+ (no mean feat). 2- and 3-d generalized plotting programs with a really slick function compiler. We are interested in communicating with anyone who has done work on the tty driver, disk optimization (we have CDC-9766 drives w/ SI 9400 controller), tricks to gain kernel data space, etc. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
