Sorry if I overshared a bit yesterday. I'm not an academic
(gasp!), so I tend to write from personal experience. Of which I have a
lot.
Anyhow, back to normal. I was going through my pictures on my sole
Windows computer, and came across a picture of Sigrid, my TRS-80 Model 4P
computer, logged into SDF and browsing SDF's gopher server. It got me
feeling nostalgic, so I'm planning to dig Sigrid out of the lab this
weekend for a bit of fun. I keep telling myself I'm going to start
programming this thing (whether K&R C or Z80 Assembler), one of these days
I'll have to make good on that threat...
The only useful thing I could use would be a uudecoder/encoder, or perhaps
a more efficient ZIP or LZH archiver? QWK, SOUP, or BlueWave offline
reader? ANSI terminal with ZModem? I dunno. I'll have to actually READ
the programming books I bought and learn something other than simple
BASIC. I have a couple of highly rated tools like Misosys C (a K&R C
compiler) and EDAS (Misosys' editor/assembler) as well, would learn on
those before moving into IDEs or cross-compilers etc on other systems...
