Does anyone know what current options there are for using IBM System 23
software? This can include emulators, compatible machines or OSes, pretty
much anything that is more current than a true 23 and will run the 23
software.
I have ONE program that I can't convince the boss to upgrade, and it
currently runs on the System 23... the problem is, I am down to my last
working machine, and I fear it too will die soon. So I am looking for a
way to move the software to a more current computer. I was thinking of a
System 23 emulator running on a current Mac or PC, but I have not been
successful in finding such (nor do I have any idea how I would transfer
the software, but one step at a time)
Anyone have any advice? (other than, stop using the software, or upgrade
it to a new application... as both ideas have fallen on deaf ears for the
last 4 years)
Thanks

Three things leap to mind:
1. ban all hand luggage
2. perform security checks right before boarding the plane as well as at the
gate and departures entrance
3. have at least three armed counter-terrorist specialists on every flight
to cover front, middle & rear sections of the plane. Maybe even six.
One thing's for sure - until airlines/governments implement these kind of
measures there's *no way* I'm getting on another plane. No way.

The BA356 is a wide shelf even if the 8-bit personality module is installed.
The 8-bit personality module just lets you use wide shelves/drives with
narrow controllers. A wide drive will not work in a narrow shelf.

The HSZxx are differential SCSI, the HSDxx are DSSI, the HSJxx are CI, and
the HSGxx are fibre channel.

Mike Kopplin had an HP 200LX palmtop (i80186, 2MB Ram, MS-DOS 5.0, powered
by AC wall wart or 2 AA batteries; not entirely OT, since the 200LX model
didn't come out until 1994, but the LX line started in 1991) running as a
web server for 16 months between April 16, 1999 and September 4, 2000.
For more information see:
http://www.technoir.nu/hplx/welcome.html
I'm finding myself trying to bring another system online, needing more space
on an existing system and running short of space in my server rack. I seem
to recall that it is possible to split a BA350 in half by pulling something
out. Am I correct in assuming that this lets you plug the shelf into two
seperate systems (in this case one Alpha/UNIX, and the other VAX/VMS).
Anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks for the smack, honestly, really. I do owe you a big apology
for my rash message. I forgot to count to 5 (and think) before hitting the
Send button. I know this is no excuse, but I replied rashly, in the heat of
the moment, and out of anger. I also didn't realize exactly who you were
either, in relation to this list.
Again, big apologies to you, Jay. My bad.
! ... And before
! you go and accuse me of insensitivity, you might consider that the WTC
! tragedy has affected me very personally and directly in a
! manner that I will
! not discuss here.
I'm not gonna ask, don't want to know, but my prayers go to you and
yours, along with everyone else affected by this...

They were then able to take care of necessary business in due time. If I
upset someone by posting an OT message to one of my mailing lists, and
helping someone in the process, I say too bad. Suck it up.
There are a few times when an OT post is accepted. Yesterday was one of
them.
But, yes, now is the time to kill this thread from the list, now that
everything has calmed down some...
-----------------
"They were then able..." I agree. You're (and others) first few OT posts
were no problem. I think it was intended as a service, and I (as well as
others I'm sure) appreciated it.
"suck it up"? <sarcasm>Your sentiment is duly noted. Thanks. I appreciate
it.</sarcasm>
"There are a few times when an OT post..." Yup, you're absolutely correct. I
agree. That is why I didn't say a single word for the first 100 or so posts.
Matter of fact, it wasn't the fact there were 100 posts about the subject
that set me off, it was two things: 1) when the last few in the thread
started to become extremely inflamatory political rhetoric, and 2) when the
discussion branched into a discussion of the skillset necessary to fly a 767
(and I'm a pilot, so I'm not unappreciative of the content of the
discussion). Case closed - I'm not going to revisit that, it was hashed over
excessively a month ago.
"But yes, now is the time to kill this thread..." <sarcasm>Why thank you for
your decision.</sarcasm>

However, I think some
sensitiviy and leverage may be appropriate given the circumstances. The
US has faced inarguably, the worst tragedy whithin it's history and
thousands of lives we're lost yesterday.
--------------------
"...sensitivity and leverage..." I couldn't agree more. As a point of
reference, you might want to be aware that the majority of private messages
I got about the last political discussion asked for the "reasonable limit of
posts in an OT thread" to be FOUR. Or did they really mean 101 (geek humor,
do the math). I have no intentions whatsoever to be a censor (or even a
moderator as Sellam suggests). I had no problem with the sensitivity and
leverage of allowing the thread to go on as long as it was. I ONLY stepped
in when the thread starting branching out to other OT threads, AND the
political rhetoric started becoming exceptionally inflamatory. And before
you go and accuse me of insensitivity, you might consider that the WTC
tragedy has affected me very personally and directly in a manner that I will
not discuss here.

I saw a note over on comp.os.cpm this morning saying that Tim Olmstead has
succumbed to his cancer and passed away. Since the Caldera license to
distribute CP/M was in his name, this will affect the free distribution
of CP/M until someone can pry a new license out of Caldera.
