...is anyone familiar with these terminals?
I have one hooked up to my linux box, via a null modem cable.
That works fine, but no matter how I set things, I can't get it to
display to display drawing characters properly, no matter how I set
$TERM and how I set the settings on the terminal.
In fact, the only way I can get it to really work (without the drawing
characters) is in vt100 mode. Very strange...

I sent 8 boxes today, (and paid $100 on top of buying some boxes,
since it turns out that Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes are singularly
inappropriate in size and shape for computer books (how many 7" items can
you fit in 12"?))
I'm going to burn out long before finishing. It's a lot of work, on top
of physical exhaustion from caring for my aging mother.
Once I get caught up with my overdo promises to y'all, I may step back for
a while.
Who wants Comdex directories/show guides/index to exhibitors (address and
phone numbers of thousands of now gone companies)? I've got them from
1982 to 2003, but some of the late 1990s ones are probably missing by now.
Who wants West Coast Computer Faire exhibitor prospectus?
Bound volumes of proceedings from WCCF (1977, 1978, etc.)?
I think that I will want money for:
shrink-wrapped 2 volume (binders in slipcases) IBM Personal Computer
Xenix [2.0]\nSoftware Development System : Application Development Guide &
(C Library Guide and Computer Reference and Macro Assembler Reference)
For those waiting for stuff, I have half a dozen boxes yet to complete,
and I need to go BUY suitable boxes.
But, I got a few out today:
ZIP postage Type Tracking number (uniqe # for every atom?)
12603 $3.43 Media mail 9549 0101 3053 3183 5129 62
(Gift)
98373 $12.35 Priority Flat 9505 5101 3053 3183 5137 00
33431 $5.68 Media 9549 0101 3053 3183 5144 23
94043 $8.28 Media 9549 0101 3053 3183 5151 47
(Gift)
97405 $6.56 Media 9549 0101 3053 3183 5155 74
(Gift)
20902 $12.35 Priority Flat 9505 5101 3053 3183 5161 90
UK $12.75 First Class Customs # LC940490488US
98035 $36.55 Priority 9505 4101 3053 3183 5168 79
(MY mistake, I should have realized that non-flat-rate Priority was a
really stupid way to go. I'll eat that one.)

I didn't get anything from Fred, but I appreciate you doing what you are
to get the things you have saved to someone else. It isn't always easy
to even find someone who wants stuff, and as you have said it isn't easy
getting it there.

Absolutely seconded. Fred, you're sweeping out the Augean Stables here, and
we're just glad that you're not using a river to do it. If anyone is getting
nasty or impatient with you, they need an adjustment.

The appreciation helps a lot!
Currently, a lot of Sacramento River and delta water is sent to southern
California. I'm lobbying for a route diversion.

I wonder if you have to run the thing in (ick!) WY50 mode to get the
graphic characters. There's a WY50 quick reference at:
http://www.vt100.net/wyse/wy-50-qrg/
I know that WY55s were often used as replacements for the WY50.

Yeah, I tried that... putting it in Wyse 50 "Personality" mode, and
setting $TERM to wyse50.
That just results in new and worse garbage. (;
For now, I'm using - | and + as drawing characters...
