He hacked the MSCP tty handler heavily with a lot MIT features. It was probably post the MIT job control stuff, but the tty handler I remember and somewhat miss was a TENEX-like ^T feature that did a one line ps of the jobs attached to your terminal. > An even bigger problem was that in vanilla V6, there's _no way_ to do 8-bit > input _and_ output. Sheesh. Painful memories ... I remember seeing that early on too V5​ too and thinking 'what a hack' as we had many glass TTY's with only an ASR33 on the console back then. And we were also trying to download binaries (to other processors) so an 8-bit path was wanted. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
