so, what is easier to read and write? IF STRING1 = STRING2 or if !(strncmp(string1,string2,10) { I've rewritten cobol into C a few times when I was a big enthusiast of C and the C code was longer and harder to maintain.

Cat weasel Yahoo Group reclaim

by jws＠jwsss.com

I set up a poll to select a moderator to replace the inactive moderation on the Catweasel group. I know the owner / creator is probably on here, and I am doing this per Yahoo instructions to get rid of the spam. I'm posting here briefly as I'm sure a lot have filtered out the group due to the spam. Here is the poll link: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/catweasel/polls/poll/3206349?pollType=E… The information about this is in a couple of messages on the Yahoo groups site. This is partly an effort to salvage the Catweasel group there, and partly an effort to see if Yahoo customer service follows thru. So far they are communicating with me. I'll let you all know how it goes. I'll end the poll for a new moderator around the end of February, per their suggestion. Thanks Jim

These automatic unsubscriptions are getting tedious. I'm not bouncing cctalk mail, but I *am* bouncing all mail from cctech since I never subscribed and the list software has ignored all reasonable efforts to unsubscribe. Evidently there's a misconfiguration somewhere that is linking the two lists like Siamese twins. I did drop Jay a line offering to look at and fix the configuration, but that mail seems to have vanished into the void along with my cctech unsubscription attempts. So, is there any way to receve cctalk and not cctech?

Incandescent lights [Re: It's time to restore the 11/45.]

But, is this the kind of life expectancy where they include the hours when it's also powered off? Because that's what I have seen for some early LED lights - 20,000 hours total lifetime if you used it only 2.5 hours a day.. the rest of the day was included in the life time claim. Real life expectancy was thus only a bit more than 2000 hours, less than three months, which turned out to be pretty accurate in practice.

Craig Solomonson posts the video he made to sell his Apple I back in 1996

by christian_liendo＠yahoo.com

It's interesting because he reads the letter he got from Apple talking about their support for the Apple I vs Apple II http://youtu.be/pCtHNWq8tjQ

Equipment Available

by jwest＠classiccmp.org

In Sydney Australia. a PDP-11/03 (probably with an expansion chassis) and an RX01 drive, all in a lowboy "desk" cabinet. All front panel covers present. Cost details are not specific, but it appears to be "free to a good home". Owner will not ship, so local pickup only. If interested, please contact me off-list and I'll hook you up with the owner. Best, J

EEPROM programmer for 68766

by roeapeterson＠gmail.com

I'm trying to upgrade my pdp11/23+. The new eeproms are 68766 24-pin 64kbit. Like an idiot, I assumed my minipro 6 ltl USB programmer could handle these, but I was wrong. Can anyone point me at a programmer that _can_ burn these? Thanks!
