But I had to come say thanks for doing this. The PDP-11 was such an amazingly pleasant machine to program. I can easily imagine that translating stuff from assembler to C is pretty straightforward. RIP DEC, you brought us some good stuff. On Tue, Sep 28, 2010 at 02:24:45PM -1000, Tim Newsham wrote: >> 7.
