Back then I could read the panic dump listing, a stack of 3 inches thick paper only containng 36-bit octal words, and find which program (or user) caused EXEC to crash. The joke was ?let?s find the 8?. I did EXEC, Videotex, DMS-1000, and MAPPER. For EXEC and MAPPER I had the SPERRY ?internals? course. I really liked MASM and PLUS. I remember two ERs, ADED$ and SMOQUE$. With the latter I was able to move my print out to the top of the queue ? IIRC, with ADED$ you could assign (and lock) a CPU to your program. A silly mistake in my MASM program ?ate? all three CPUs of the 1100/63. Everything froze, and even on the console in the computer room response was extremely slow. $! had no immediate effect! Those were the days! I think I will try to get 2200 running, but I am afraid I forgot most of it (if not all), it?s been over 20 years. Henk
