Over the past year, I have sent several messages to
Tom Shoppa
requesting a set of CD ROMs containing the offerings of his at
the web site, metalab.unc.edu, yet to date I have not received
the requested material. I have also sent email to Tom directly
but, he has not answered. Is there some extenuating circumstance
of which others on this list are more familiar than I?

From information gleaned from a number of sources,
including Tim
Shoppa himself (TIM NOT TOM), Tim is providing support
for a $ 10 Billion system of some sort which likely uses VMS.
I don't think I can be any more accurate that the above description
and it may be exaggerated a bit, but from what I know of Tim's
background, the hardware controlled by the computer may well
have cost that much.
As such, Tim has almost no time for anything else except his family.
As for the CDs which you requested, you did not specify RSX or
RT-11. If the latter, I can help since I now have a CD burner.
Does anyone else have copies of the RSX-11 set of 2 CDs?
Sincerely yours,
Jerome Fine
