What resolution should I scan a missing print set at?

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

Hi all, I have a PDP-11 print set (MP00196, M9301 Bootstrap/Terminator) which is not online. I wish to scan my copy, and donate the scan to all the repositories. What resolution should I scan it at? I looked at a couple that are available as TIFFs, and they claim to be 600 dpi - that can't be right, is it? If it is, no problem, I'm happy to do it at that resolution, but I just don't want to do silly overkill. Thanks! Noel

Lexitron Videotype

by simski＠dds.nl

Hello all, I mailed about this last year, and got no response, so here again: I'm looking for info on this very strange terminal/wordprocessor from the early seventies: http://aheckofa.com/FoolMeOnce/MiscScans/EarlyVideoWP400.png https://hack42.nl/gallery/v/Museum/DSCF7634.JPG.html http://aheckofa.com/FoolMeOnce/MiscScans/Lexitron500.png as you see, there is not much info on the web about this very beautiful, yet strange beast. Unfortunately the picture tube is broken and we are missing the main processing unit. It seems that the display used vector graphics as the horizontal an vertical are identical in design and the normal raster scanning generators are missing. the terminal connected with a 94 pin connector to the main unit, being also fed power though this cable. anyone -- Met vriendelijke Groet, Simon Claessen drukknop.nl

Anyone has the DEC font, as used to mark their papertapes, ready in machine readable format ? ( C include file preferred ) The 8x6 format I use now just does not have the right look to it. Yep, I am recreating some of those papertapes... Jos

Well, that IBM guy was pretty insistent that it was von Neumann's idea, but that it's one of those ideas that seems so completely obvious when you hear about it that you can't imagine that it hasn't been around all the time. And nevertheless someone had to come up with the thought first. And afterwards it can never be unthought. The "meme" concept actually. BTW the full 55 minutes documentary is on Youtube too.

OMSI and UW FOCAL help

by j＠ckrubin.us

DEC released FOCAL-8 (FOrmula CALculator) in 1969 as a tool for numeric problem solving on the PDP "Family of 8" machines. The language allowed extension and at least two additional versions were made available to the public. OMSI-P/S8 FOCAL is available of Dave Gesswein's site along with an HTML version of the online help as documentation. The manual for Jim van Zee's University of Washington Focal (UWF) is on bitsavers and also as FOCAL8-301 from DECUS. I'm trying to find the missing pieces - an OMSI manual and UWF source and binaries. Can anybody help? Thanks, Jack

Removing OpenVMS license paks (fwd)

by richardlo＠admin.athabascau.ca

I said: $ license delete /all but it should be: $ license delete vms-user /all because you cannot delete them all so easily. There is also an interactive utility: sys$update:vmslicense.com -- Richard Loken VE6BSV, Unix System Administrator : "Anybody can be a father Athabasca University : but you have to earn Athabasca, Alberta Canada : the title of 'daddy'" ** richardlo at admin.athabascau.ca ** : - Lynn Johnston
