Since I only got a few replies on my MPulse newsgroup idea, I
figured that we could use this one until the traffic builds (if it ever
does).
I know that there are a number of MPulse machines out there. Not
too many are on the net though. I have been trying to collect names of
people as I find them. Here is what I have so far. Please help add to
the list.

We have 4 machines here in the Detroit area (fmsrl7 is NOT an MPulse
though). Mine (teemc.uucp) is the only one that is net-registered. We
have had a number of problems with the machines, many of which have
been fixed. I would like to see a discussion of what problems other
people have had, workarounds, and solutions. I am not including
anything here because I do not know how many people will actually
read/post this subject but I will have much to post if there is any
kind of reasonable response.

I have a friend who uses several Tower machines. I tried a couple of things and found out that the MPulse 20 running under unixC.4 will run NCR 600 tower code but will _not_ run NCR 800 tower code. In order to help you out in determining where code comes from, here is a new /etc/magic pulled from my system. It incudes some additional info and does not lose any. I am interested in adding Stride information to this so if anyone has access to a Stride /etc/magic, please send it to me. Has anyone found any other manufacturer's code that works? I just realized that some people may not know what this is for. If you put the below file into /etc/magic on your machine, you can then type commands like file /bin/cat to find out what /bin/cat really is. The existing /etc/magic file will identify LPC compiled things but this one will recognize code from NCR Tower machines as well. /\/\ \/\/ ===== Cut here and put in /etc/magic ======== (Beware of signature at end) # # @(#)magic teemc(1.2) Mon Oct 12 16:56:59 EDT 1987 # # %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% # Significant hacks and additions from various machines done # to this file by /\/\ichael R. \/\/ayne (wayne@teemc.uucp). # Updates and corrections are most welcome. # Numbers are now sorted by value and as follows: # # - Shorts # - Longs # - Strings # %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% # # file cmd's magic file # # Basically, the fields of this file are as follows: # byte offset, value type, optional operator (= by default), value # to match (numeric or string), and string to be printed.
