Re: [PLUG] retro game emulation | [was[ Re: download from WHERE? |
Nice! Apollo Domain/IX was GREAT! Fully programmable keyboard, so back in 1987 we all wrote our own key-chording combos. Mine was a half-complete emulation of VAX/VMS's EDT editor with GOLD key and all. So my fingers didn't need to learn a new editor. And the editing keys worked EVERYWHERE -- in the native "pad editor", vi, Unix shell, email, etc. Also: - Fantastic NFS networking - True peer-to-peer server-less environment - Incredible "make" tool that distributed compile jobs across the various peer workstations - DSEE version control system built right into the file system. Could checkin/checkout, access old versions, by default get latest versions, etc. All using normal Unix filename syntax. Truly ground-breaking stuff! Then HP bought Apollo and threw it all away.... Bummer! BTW, George, the explicit Reply-To field on you email is causing all replies to go only to you, not to the list. Ordinarily, when I do a simple Reply in Thunderbird it goes to the poster, and when I do a Reply-All, it goes to the poster AND the list. But with your explicit Reply-To field, even Reply-All goes only to you. I had to explicitly add PLUG as an additional "To". FYI. --Fred ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fred Stluka Bristle Software, Inc. http://bristle.com #DontBeATrump #SadLittleDonny #ShakeOffTheTrumpStink #MakeAmericaHonorableAgain http://MakeAmericaHonorableAgain.us/Trump/Countdown.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 4/29/20 12:37 PM, George Zipperlen via plug wrote:
