Robert Michael Owens -- in the utzoo Usenet archives there are very early posts from him as psuvax!bear. He passed away in 1997; see the biography here: http://sips2016.rice.edu/bob-owens/ A 1983 post to net.unix-wizards from Bruce Crabill says: > The Unix version of the RSCS emulator is called UREP (Unix RSCS > Emulation Program) and is available from Pennsylvania State > University. It was written by Robert Owens and Joseph Boykin. More > information on it can be obtained from Robert Owens (BITNET: > OWENS@PSUVAX1). The VMS version was written by Craig Watkins (BITNET: > CRW@PSUVMS1). I have talked to both versions from BITNET and found > them to be very good emulations of RSCS (which is IBM's Remote > Spooling Communications Subsystem/Networking). -- Adam Sampson
