Many of you seem to be interested in obtaining the `cdecl' program I have mentioned recently. First, I should say that I did not write it; I have forgotten who did (that is twice now!), and the author's name appears in neither the manual entry nor the source. However, the code was made freely available, so I can pass it on. My shar file is just a bit over 14K, so I am even willing to send it through a reasonable number of UUCP hops, but please ask your immediate neighbors if they have cdecl before flooding seismo with mail. For those of you receiving this message via the Info-C mailing list, if you are on the ARPA Internet, you can retrieve the file from host mimsy.umd.edu using anonymous FTP. Those on CSNet or BITNET can send me mail. BITNET people should consider using umd2.umd.edu as a gateway, as it is practically on the same Ethercable as mimsy.umd.edu. -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 1516) UUCP: seismo!umcp-cs!chris CSNet: chris@umcp-cs ARPA: chris@mimsy.umd.edu

Cdecl was written by Graham Ross. In December 1983 his net address was tektronix!tekmdp!grahamr. -- David DiGiacomo {decvax, ihnp4, ucbvax}!sun!david david@sun.arpa Sun Microsystems, Mt.

Well, Chris, this is close (and we hope will be closer in the near feature). As I understand it UMD1 is on the Ethercable. UMD1 has a 40KB sync link to UMD2, which then has a 64KB HASP link to UMDD. So far, not too terribly bad. But the kicker is that UMDD's link to the rest of BitNet is all of 9600 baud and is going to be the bottleneck. We have the hardware for UMD2 to talk directly to the Ethercable and have bounced commands off it, so all we really need to do is cobble together a device driver and low level communications handler for it. If there is a huge demand for cdecl on BitNet maybe we can get one of the BitNic servers to carry it. Then BitNet people would say (something like): tell bitnic sendme cdecl and a card deck would automagically appear in their (virtual) card reader. Chris, I hope there aren't any lines in CDECL longer than 80 characters... -- umd5.UUCP <= {seismo!umcp-cs,ihnp4!rlgvax}!cvl!umd5!zben Ben Cranston zben @ umd2.UMD.EDU Kingdom of Merryland Sperrows 1100/92 umd2.BITNET "via HASP with RSCS"
