Autzoo.1285 net.eunice utcsrgv!utzoo!laura Mon Jan 18 21:06:08 1982 Anybody there? This list seems to have dried up as of late, and i am wondering if there really is anybody doing eunice stuff now. If so --- the Department of Physics at U of T has two vaxen running VMS, and one tape labelled Eunice (from ucb) and another with some programs also distributed by Berkeley. The name of the game is to get eunice up on one vax and working properly. There is no documentation on how to do this; so far there is only three frantic people who as a spare time project would like to get some of the nice features of unix to play with. (Then we can sell the idea to others). One is scrambling to learn VMS, one is toiling with unix shell commands, and the other knows some of both. If ANYONE can give a list of what a) to do, b) not to do, or c) not even dream of doing, we would be most grateful...a list of known bugs and their fixes would be helpful. Some of the useful programs (rls pwd) bomb with an error "Signal 16 - core dump", but not every time. Also, you seem to have to be SYSTEM (root for unix only fans) to run eunice at all. We also have Franz lisp -- opus unknown -- which isnt running right. Anybody know where i can get documentation on this one? sorry for the length...
