Fido from the Inside
|
|
by

|
Racter
|
|
|
|
A hi-fi, mansion and stationwagon are critical at all
|
|
events Ben Baker desired a light-tube! To watch a van as an
|
|
image or reflection in a sickening reflector inflamed Ben
|
|
Baker. Why a light-tube? A physicist might cry that a
|
|
light-tube is critical; furiously the physicist cries "the
|
|
light-tube is valuable by the same token Ben Baker
|
|
fantasizes of apartments and automobiles. " Spooky.
|
|
Fascinating. This is peculiar. The physicist croons of a
|
|
light-tube during the time that Ben Baker dreams of
|
|
stationwagons. Would Marcella ponder about the loves of Ben
|
|
Baker? Marcella thinks that the physicist is crazy. A
|
|
light-tube? Why? Marcella yodeled " Physicist, you're
|
|
maniacal and so is Ben Baker. A light-tube indeed! " Ben
|
|
Baker now was arrogant. The physicist indubitably was
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
FIDONEWS -- 23 Sep 85 00:10:11 Page 2
|
|
|
|
aloof. But Marcella hummed to them " Do you follow me? "
|
|
Take it easy. Marcella commenced to speak of dogs and
|
|
hawks, even babies or a brother. Spooky! A poetic
|
|
novelist is still not a Goethe. AAAchoo!
|
|
|
|
Either Karl Schinke plays the violin or I would like to
|
|
write an editorial. Abraham Lincoln said that if I am
|
|
catching cold, then Al Capone is crooked. AAAchoo!
|
|
|
|
To think is wonderful, don't you think? Probably I do
|
|
think FidoNet will last very long because subroutines are
|
|
like that, don't you think?. For another reason, clever
|
|
things occur.
|
|
|
|
Jane Fonda said that if I do think FidoNet will last very
|
|
long, then Lizzie Borden is dirty. Cough. Concerning that
|
|
issue: As Samuel Butler might have said, goodness is like
|
|
the sword; those who appeal to it shall perish by it. Ah
|
|
yes. Jane Fonda thought this was terrific: A paragon
|
|
physicist spoke "Arrange for a strange tale, Thom." Thom,
|
|
this is an agreement!
|
|
|
|
To think is clever, don't you think? I don't know what I do
|
|
think of the public domain Fido project.
|
|
|
|
John MacEnroe might have thought that I certainly hang in
|
|
there, but not Mohammed Ali. Hmm. Sporting duelists and
|
|
unsporting players should get along.
|
|
|
|
Anyway, let's imagine that I do think there should be a
|
|
national directory of Fidonet users. Why? If there isn't a
|
|
reason then Larry Flint is more wonderful than Helen
|
|
Caldicott. Anthony Comstock said that if I do think there
|
|
should be a national directory of Fidonet users, then Larry
|
|
Flint is filthy. Cough. Ah. Ah. Yes. Yes. I do think
|
|
about such things. Would you rather be a scholar or an
|
|
ignoramous? Do you really imagine I am intelligent?
|
|
|
|
Just be content that we should. Why? Only an ignoramous
|
|
could imagine that I tell you why. Ah. A lazy scholar often
|
|
falls prey to a honest ignoramous. AAAchoo! Concerning
|
|
that issue: Oh, never mind. Perhaps I really am an
|
|
ignoramous. But Valery said that a man is infinitely more
|
|
complicated than his intelligence. Wouldn't you say the
|
|
same of a computer? Ah yes. Next question.
|
|
|
|
Sober lunatics and zany citizens should get along. AAAchoo!
|
|
For me, wanting is needing. Conceivably I do want to write
|
|
an editorial because my subroutines are down. Also, because
|
|
my ROMS told me so. It's about time for a story, isn't it?
|
|
|
|
Draining champagne is Tom Jennings's infatuation. Bolting
|
|
meat is Tom Jennings's desire. Nevertheless Mr.Toad
|
|
suddenly glimpses only cucumbers. El bizarro! Tom Jennings
|
|
yodels to Mr.Toad about champagne and meat at all events
|
|
Mr.Toad will glimpse tomatoes. El bizarro. Mr.Toad rambled
|
|
to Tom Jennings's yellow mansion and commenced to revile and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
FIDONEWS -- 23 Sep 85 00:10:13 Page 3
|
|
|
|
madden Tom Jennings while Tom Jennings was whispering about
|
|
meat. Hold on. Since Mr.Toad's own black mansion was
|
|
frightening; he spoke aprehensively to Tom Jennings " Do
|
|
you follow me? " This slaughtered Tom Jennings. But a
|
|
cosmologist began to bolt some spinach. Mr.Toad was
|
|
infuriated. Instantly he knew that to see a tomato is not
|
|
to observe it. Tom Jennings understands that champagne and
|
|
meat are not tomatoes. The cosmologist does not. Are you
|
|
interested? Mr.Toad is infuriated and exhausted, by the
|
|
same token some spinach would serve him to be nurturing
|
|
while Tom Jennings slaughtered the cosmologist. The
|
|
fictional have unbelieving ways. Sniff...

|
|
Hello Everyone! My name is Darlene Faccone and I'm Sysop of
|
|
one of the new Fidos in Southern California. I've been having
|
|
trouble thinking of a name for my node so..........I'M
|
|
HAVING A CONTEST!!
|
|
|
|
The temporary name I'm using is NAME_MY_NODE. I will be
|
|
accepting name suggestions until 9/30/85 when a real name
|
|
will be chosen. The author of the selected name will win a
|
|
SURPRISE so, please include a mailing address with your
|
|
suggestion. I've decided to let all of you help select the
|
|
winning entry. Watch FidoNews for the list of suggested
|
|
names on which to vote...
|
|
|
|
My BBS doesn't have a single theme yet but I'm leaning
|
|
toward an informational type system where people can ask
|
|
questions relating to the IBM PC family and peripherals. My
|
|
system is running on an IBM PC/AT with 512K RAM, 20mB disk
|
|
drive, color display and Hayes 1200B Smartmodem.
|
|
|
|
I am a reformed mainframer with 19 years applications and
|
|
systems programming experience. My skills are mostly
|
|
software related but I'm always extremely interested in
|
|
learning new things all the time.
|
|
|
|
I'll be upgrading memory soon to a megabyte so that I can
|
|
run Multi-link or some other comparable multitasking soft-
|
|
ware which will allow me to keep Fido on-line all the time
|
|
but still use the system for other things.
|
|
|
|
I'm VERY excited about being a part of Fido. Everyone has
|
|
been extremely helpful and supportive.
|
|
|
|
DON'T FORGET TO SEND ME A NAME SUGGESTION!!!! I'LL BE
|
|
WATCHING FOR SOME REALLY CLEVER WITTY NAMES.

LA50 Print Utility
|
|
|
|
|
|
LA50PRT is not really a fido utility, however it was written
|
|
because of fido. When the new fido documentation came out,
|
|
it was over 300K of text. All throughout the text was
|
|
overstriking, and the LA50 cannot handle this well. In
|
|
order for me to print a copy of the fido manual, I had to
|
|
write a utility to optimize the printing for the LA50.
|
|
This utility reads an entire line at a time and does the
|
|
overstrikes at the end. Rather than overstriking each
|
|
character within a line, the object would be to print the
|
|
entire line once, then overstrike the necessary characters.
|
|
This eliminates all but the necessary backspaces the printer
|
|
has to make, and speeds the printing process. I hope other
|
|
DEC Rainbow users will find this program as useful as I did.
|
|
|
|
The program may be downloaded from fido 107/17
|
|
at (609) 429-6630.

BUY AMERICAN.....SCREW N.E.C. !!!
|
|
|
|
I was absolutely DISGUSTED at reading Bob Hartman's article
|
|
in the Sept 2 issue of Fido News. Before yanking out your
|
|
American made Intel chips and replacing them with pirated
|
|
hardware (stolen by the Japaneese) I wish you would read
|
|
this and give it some thought!!
|
|
|
|
All of us concerned Sysops tell our users not to pirate
|
|
software or place it on our boards. Why? Stealing just
|
|
isn't accepted in our society. Yet, people are telling
|
|
computer users to put stolen hardware in their machines and
|
|
giving it no thought. NEC literally stole the process for
|
|
making the Intel 8088 & 8087 chips and the matter IS going
|
|
to court. I'm sure Intel will win the case (their
|
|
signature is ACTUALLY on the NEC chip, because NEC didn't
|
|
even re-work the design!)
|
|
|
|
My husband works for Intel and Intel has been laying people
|
|
off because of the undercutting going on with NEC, Hitachi,
|
|
& Mitzubishi (sp). This is precisely why computer prices
|
|
are dropping. These unscrupulous Japaneese firms have
|
|
publicly announced their intentions to ruin the American
|
|
integrated circuit market by selling parts far below
|
|
manufacturing costs. While low prices might seem nice to end
|
|
users....the entire computer shake-up and bankruptcy of
|
|
American firms can be blamed directly on these unfair trade
|
|
practices of the above named Japaneese firms.
|
|
|
|
It is no different to support pirated software or pirated
|
|
hardware....the principal is the same. I think
|
|
every computer user should know the facts before supporting
|
|
such unethical and undesirable companies. I would rather
|
|
throw my computer out the window than replace an honest
|
|
American chip with a stolen, pirated circuit made by any of
|
|
these firms.
|
|
|
|
Just remember, if YOU put an NEC chip in your
|
|
computer...YOU are putting American workers out of
|
|
jobs and YOU are supporting unethical trade practices.
|
|
Let that be on YOUR conscience not mine!! I will wait
|
|
for Intel to win it's case, and for Intel's new faster
|
|
chips and not support computer criminals. I hope all
|
|
of you will think about this!!
|
|
|
|
Very Sincerely,
|
|
|

SanyoNet
|
|
Help for the lost Sanyo user.
|
|
|
|
SanyoNet is a group of FIDO BBS systems who have grouped
|
|
together for the sole purpose of disseminating information,
|
|
files, and news, as well as helping users of Sanyo computer
|
|
systems. Most of the people involved in the system are
|
|
running fido on MBC-555 systems, although there are systems
|
|
running on other machines that support sanyo interest
|
|
groups. Sanyo Business Systems will soon be involved in the
|
|
network.
|
|
|
|
As of Sept 6, we have 14 systems involved with SanyoNet. It
|
|
has grown rapidly (Nearly as rapidly as FIDONET!) "Sanyfido"
|
|
list are distributed weekly, or whenever new systems are
|
|
added to the list. This list is "FidoNetted" to all SanyoNet
|
|
nodes and all other interested parties. A small, and I do
|
|
mean small, newsletter is distributed with each listing.
|
|
|
|
Many other projects are in the works. One sysop will soon
|
|
compile a complete listing of all sanyo oriented files from
|
|
all member BBS's. This list will be distributed to ALL
|
|
known sanyo BBS's, be they Fido or otherwise. Armed with
|
|
this list, a sanyo user can find the nearest node where he
|
|
can obtain the needed files.
|
|
|
|
Another project involves a rewrite of the sanyo MSDOS 2.11
|
|
bios. The projects goal is to provide more IBM
|
|
compatability than is currently available with the present
|
|
bios.
|
|
|
|
Most, if not all questions dealing with hardware troubles,
|
|
compatability questions, software/hardware operation, ect.
|
|
can usually be answered by someone on the net. If not we
|
|
usually know someone who can!
|
|
|
|
One request before I close: We desperatly need ANYONE who
|
|
knows of a sanyo BBS system other than those listed here to
|
|
leave a fidomail message addressed to: sysop node 14/386,
|
|
with the systems name, location, number, hours of operation,
|
|
sysops name, and maximum Baud rate supported. We need not
|
|
only sanyo based BBS's but all BBS's that have an active
|
|
sanyo sig online.
|
|
|
|
thanks...until next time...happy fidoing

The Adventures of Luke Vaxhacker Episode n-1.0
|
|
|
|
As we enter the scene, an Imperial Multiplexer is trying
|
|
to kill a consulate ship. Many of their signals have gotten
|
|
thru, and RS232 decides it's time to fork off a new process
|
|
before this old ship is destroyed. His companion, 3CPU is
|
|
following him only because he appears to know where he is
|
|
going...
|
|
|
|
"I'm going to regret this!" cried 3CPU, as he followed
|
|
RS232 into the buffer. RS232 closed the pipes, made the sys
|
|
call, and their process detached itself from the burning
|
|
shell of the ship.
|
|
|
|
The commander of the Imperial Multiplexer was quite
|
|
pleased with the attack. "Another process just forked, Sir.
|
|
Instructions?" asked the lieutenant "Hold your fire. That
|
|
last power failure must have caused a trap thru zero. It's
|
|
not using any cpu time, so don't waste a signal on it."
|
|
|
|
"We can't seem to find the data file anywhere, Lord
|
|
Vadic." "What about that forked process? It could have been
|
|
holding the channel open, and just pausing. If any links
|
|
exist, I want them removed or made inaccessible. Ncheck the
|
|
entire file system 'til it's found, and nice it -20 if you
|
|
have to."
|
|
|
|
Meanwhile, in our wandering process... "Are you sure you
|
|
can ptrace this thing without causing a core dump?" queried
|
|
3CPU to RS232. "This thing's been stripped and I'm in no

|
mood to try and debug it." The lone process finished
|
|
execution, only to find our friends dumped on a lonely file
|
|
system, with the setuid inode stored safely in RS232. Not
|
|
knowing what else to do, they wandered around until the
|
|
Jawas grabbed them.
|
|
|
|
Enter our hero, Luke Vaxhacker, who was out to get some
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
replacement parts for his uncle. The Jawas wanted to sell
|
|
him 3CPU, but 3CPU didn't know how to talk directly to an
|
|
11/40 with RSTS, so Luke still needed some sort of interface
|
|
for 3CPU to connect to. "How about this little RS232 unit?"
|
|
asked 3CPU. "I've dealt with him many time before, and he
|
|
does an excellent job at keeping his bits straight." Luke
|
|
was pressed for time, so he took 3CPU's advice and the three
|
|
left before they could get swapped out.
|
|
|
|
However, RS232 was not the type to stay put once you
|
|
remove the retaining screws. He promptly scurried off into
|
|
the deserted disk space. "Great!" cried Luke, "Now I've got
|
|
this little tin box with the only link to that file off
|
|
floating in the free disk space. Well, 3CPU, we better go
|
|
find him before he gets allocated by someone else." The two
|
|
set off, and finally traced RS232 to the home of PDP-1
|
|
Kenobe, who was busily trying to run an icheck on the little
|
|
RS unit. "Is this thing yours? His indirect addresses are
|
|
all goofed up, and the size is gargantious. Leave things
|
|
like this on the loose, and you'll wind up with file dumps
|
|
everywhere. However, I think I've got him fixed up. It
|
|
seems that he has a link to a data file on the Are-Em Star.
|
|
This could help the rebel cause." "I don't care about that,"
|
|
said Luke. "I'm just trying to optimize my uncle's
|
|
scheduler."
|
|
|
|
Oh, forget about that. Dec Vadic, who is responsible
|
|
for your father's death, has probably already destroyed his
|
|
farm in search of this little RS232. It's time for you to
|
|
leave this place, join the rebel cause, and become a UNIX
|
|
wizard! I know a guy by the name of Con Solo, who'll fly us
|
|
to the rebel base at a price..."
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Luke had grown up on an out of the way terminal cluster
|
|
whose natives spoke only BASIC, but even he could recognize
|
|
an old ASR-33.
|
|
|
|
"It needs an EIA conversion at least," sniffed 3CPU, who
|
|
was (as usual) trying to do several things at once. Light
|
|
flashed in Con Solo's eyes as he whirled to face the
|
|
parallel processor.
|
|
|
|
"I've added a few jumpers. The Milliamp Falcon can run
|
|
current loops around any Imperial TTY fighter. She's fast
|
|
enough for you."
|
|
|
|
"Who's your co-pilot?" asked PDP-1 Kenobie.
|
|
|
|
"Two Bacco, here, my Bookie."
|
|
|
|
"Odds aren't good," said the brownish lump beside him,
|
|
and then fell silent, or over. Luke couldn't tell which way
|
|
was up underneath all those leaves.
|
|
|
|
Suddenly, RS232 started spacing wildly. They turned
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
just in time to see a write cycle coming down the UNIBUS
|
|
toward them. "Imperial Bus Signals!" shouted Con Solo.
|
|
"Let's boot this popsicle stand! Tooie, set clock fast!"
|
|
|
|
"Ok, Con," said Luke, "You said this crate was fast
|
|
enough. Get us out of here!"
|
|
|
|
"Shut up kid! Two Bacco, prepare to make the jump into
|
|
system space! I'll try to keep their buffers full."
|
|
|
|
As the bookie began to compute the vectors into low
|
|
core, spurious characters appeared around the Milliamp
|
|
Falcon. "They're firing!" shouted Luke "Can't you do
|
|
something?"
|
|
|
|
"Making the jump to system space takes time, kid. One
|
|
missed cycle and you could come down right in the middle of
|
|
a pack of stack frames!"
|
|
|
|
"Three to five we can go now," said the bookie.
|
|
|
|
Bright chunks of position independent code flashed by
|
|
the cockpit as the Milliamp Falcon jumped through the kernal
|
|
page tables. As the crew breathed a sigh of relief, the
|
|
bookie started paying off bets.
|
|
|
|
"Not bad, for an accoustically coupled network,"
|
|
REMarked 3CPU. "Though there was a little phase jitter as we
|
|
changed parity."
