@screwtape @amszmidt That could well be. I haven't followed Emacs closely; is compilation to machine code in yet?

@amszmidt Be the CONS you want to see in the world. Being wired into a PDP-10 is only one of the perks.

@screwtape @amszmidt How so? Even Emacs 13 has a Lisp compiler. Or are you referring to one of the other two elisps?

Good to see that timely documentation was as important then as it is now.

@amszmidt Why not Alto?

@amszmidt Or are you dancer?

@kentpitman @amszmidt @screwtape Your translator isn't there (yet). CGOL is.

I believe the major use case for the translator was the IMSL math library? The library is preserved, but it's copyrighted software now owned by Perforce, so there are obstacles to making it available. I made some notes here: https://github.com/PDP-10/its/issues/676

I wrote my own NCP and can now make TELNET connections both ways between my laptop and ITS.

This will be the year of ARPANET on the desktop.

There were a bunch of CDC hosts on the ARPANET. Does anyone has an inkling whether some of this networking software has survived?

Feliz Navi!

I'd like to offer some UUCP resources for the modern world.

I suppose most of you recognize this note from 55 years ago.

I'm slowly building on the work of David Walden, Bob Armstrong, Charles Anthony, and others. They previously demonstrated an ARPA network running on four emulated IMPs. Now for the first time, there's a PDP-10 host in the mix.

It's a start. Er, restart.

@Steveg58 @amszmidt VT52 - custom TTL processor.
VT100 - Intel 8080.
VT220 - Intel 8051.
VT320 - Intel 8031.

@amszmidt No. Threaded code is the body of the word. Analogous with the body of a Lisp function, which consists of nail clippings. Or the body of a PDP-10 subroutine, which consists of pure distilled beauty.

@amszmidt @ksaj @nuxi Brian also put Logo on a Canadian satellite that is now orbiting Earth.

@amszmidt I want to vote for "word".

Happy DEC-10 day!

Why not celebrate by getting a PiDP-10?
