This version actually works. You invoke the program with:
:EAK;BEAR <uname> [<item>] [<description]>
The user <uname> will receive annoying messages until they respond with:
:SEND BEAR <item>
^C
<item> and <description> are optional. <item> defaults to "cookie", and
<description> defaults to "A VERY HUNGRY BEAR".
The ROM is built with the default start address, which is 173000.
It appears PROM 50 is the old Maclisp PROM tool, and PROM 555 is a
newer version for Lisp machines.
It has been agreed that subnet 376 should be a local Chaosnetwork.
The Chaosnet bridge has been given the node address 177001, and
DB/KA/KL ITS is node 177002.
This is a one-shot program. It can be linked from DRAGON, with the
first file name e.g. HOURLY or DAILY for the desired frequency. For
this to work, the file CSTACY; GUNNER LOG must exist.
The @ TECO binary is from the . directory on many backup tapes going
all the way back to 1971. The LPT 11 and MACTAP F68 sources come
unchanged from Peter Samson's "RandomSystem" DECtape. The TECO DUMMY
file is close to the undated SYSENG; TECODM 2 file.
The source files can be assembled with MIDAS 73, and linked with the
Muddle version of STINK. The link order is TECO DUMMY, LPT, MACTAP,
TECO.
This results in a binary that is identical to the original @ TECO with
a few exceptions:
- @ TECO has a loader in 20-37, and something in 776000-777777.
- MOBY is set to 174000 for 64K core, which results in MACDMP being
1777400 and MACCR being 177777. The @ TECO binary has it set to
DSKDMP at 777700.
- The buffer size in MEMSIZ is not the same.
- CONSTANTS has one additional zero at the end, shifting the rest
of the memory image up by one word.
Previously, some invocations would exit after seeing the "core used"
message. This resulted in an error on some machines. It's safer to
wait for the message, and then exit when seeing the "*" prompt.
