That's actually somewhat frightening.

I've got an Altos 5-15 laying around somewhere.....

Does it still have the "three lines, no waiting" vaporware loaded on it?

I've got the original OSUNY disks around for it too.

If the disks are readable, I can convert the message base to the modern Citadel format and you can put it online at osuny.com

That would *really* piss off the "Fake OSUNY" people :)

By the way, it was two lines. The third serial was for the console.

Your dangerous enough. You don't need your own full time access.

You know ... those disks ought to be copied to modern media if they're still readable.  I'll bet they'd be useful to the Archive project.

They're at my parents house. I'll have to try and dig them up.

Not to sound insensitive, but, are you suggesting you need to dig up the decaying bodies of your parents?

I think I'm not quite tracking this conversation properly.

Don't you hate it when people have valuable media buried with them, and they're not even dead yet?

The noise they make is infuriating.

If you had a shared object/dynamically linked library that exposed only C functions... simple functions that returned void*, and took const char* and unsigned integers as arguments... and you wanted these functions to be made available in Java through the JNI layer, how long do you expect it would take for you to accomplish such a task?

No more than 10 functions exposed this way, and no structures passing between the component boundary beyond a void* (used as a handle in other functions).

Oh, well, maybe one or two of them took char* (non-const) which would be filled in with values.

CONST CONSIDERED HARMFUL

pretty much. the viral nature of "const" creates a huge mess. Java got it right with the more limited, "final"

Do I take a nibble on the bait you've laid before me, or shake my finger and say, "Nice try..."?

Hmmm... decisions, decisions...

C considered harmful. Deal with it.
