Anyone out there remember the old DEC MINC-11's? Up until about a year ago, we were still using them at Columbia University's (presitigious?) Nevis Labs doing testing on transport crates. They ran some perversion on RSTS/E I think, and we even had a FORTRAN compiler on it. It ran on one of the boards slapped together in a few days by some of the people up there. I didn't get too much experience writing code on it, except for some device-driver type software, but I do remember someone accidentally deleting a summer's worth of work before realizing that we DIDN'T indeed have the source backed up (all we had left was the executable). I even remember the expression on my face when I was asked if I wanted to reverse-engineer it back into FORTRAN.... DISCLAIMER: This isn't Columbia. This is me. Columbia is them. //jbaltz jerry b. altzman "We've got to get in to get out" 212 854 8058 jbaltz@cunixf.cc.columbia.edu jauus@cuvmb (bitnet) ...!rutgers!columbia!cunixf!jbaltz (bang!)
