new site on net
This is to announce the presence on Usenet of duke!utzoo, the U of Toronto
zoology department. We are the only U of T site on the net at the moment,
and will forward things (within reason) to local non-net sites like the
Computer Systems Research Group.
Although this is the largest zoology school in the western hemisphere,
the computer-systems operation is not very large, mostly because it
is a fairly recent acquisition. We have an 11/44 with a 300-meg disk,
a bunch of (sigh) DZ11's, and several smaller cpus. We run V7+PWB plus
assorted other software from various places. We do text processing,
data acquisition (using two satellite 11/05's), some research in areas
like database systems, and a bunch of miscellaneous odds and ends.
We're interested in better text-handling software (especially formatters),
data acquisition and analysis tools, distributed processing a la Ethernet,
general Unix improvement and enhancement, and VAXes.
Contact for net matters (and almost anything else) is Henry Spencer,
duke!utzoo!henry (preferred), (416)978-6060 (if you must).
At present, we connect only to Duke. We have no autodialer (yet) and
hence are unwilling to call other people; we are TENTATIVELY willing
to let other people call us, and several local Unix sites have expressed
interest in doing so. Details not yet figured out.
