There never seems to be much, if any, traffic in this group... are there no other tahoe users out in the big, wide world? :-( I'm hitting some problems with trying to get a few `standard' packages going, such as Unix TeX, and would appreciate being able to discuss these by email with any other tahoe site who has perhaps solved the problems already. For example, do you have a working `undump' under System V ?? (our system is an 8Mb Power6/32 with 2 340Mb xfd drives and ethernet connection to a network of Suns and Vaxes running 4.2bsd and vms; it's running System V.2, release 2.11.02 at present... when they distribute it in the UK, ICL call it a "Clan 7"). So, if you *are* using a tahoe, I'd be pleased to hear from you!!

Well, I've had 16 email responses to my plea for news of other tahoe sites! Thanks very much for all the offers of help and for the encouraging and supportive comments from Dave Rasmussen, Ken Smith, H.P.Penning, Dik Winter, Mark Edwards, Robert Ramos, Rick Silterra, Jack Slingwine, Jim Lowe, Lewis Kellum and Nick Crossley, among others... I'll reply to those I can reach by email, but thank you all. There are a number of system manufacturers in the list of sites who answered: a couple of Sperry 7000/40s, a couple of Harris systems and some CCI Power6's. Does anyone know of others who use the tahoe architecture? Also, while a number of sites are running System V, most seemed to run 4.2BSD, or 4.3. Those who could compare preferred BSD variants to System V, either on performance or stability grounds. I thought this might be of interest. I hope other folk will send articles in to this group... it's nice to know there are so many other sites out there, but why is the newsgroup so quiet? let's hear from you! regards, dave PS: a pointer on pronunciation would help: "tay-hoe", or "tar-hoe" ?? -- David Osborne +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Cripps Computing Centre, University of Nottingham, Nottingham NG7 2RD, UK | | JANET: dao@uk.ac.nott.cs || cczdao@uk.ac.nott.vaxa | | UUCP: {...!mcvax}!ukc!nott-cs!dao | | ARPA: dao%cs.nott.ac.uk@ucl-cs.arpa || @ucl-cs.arpa:dao@cs.nott.cs.uk | | Phone: +44 602 506101 x2064 Voice: "Dave!" | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
