I graduated |from NIU back in |2002 and was fortunate to take Sys Prog class under Dr. |Rannie. We built what we called a Student Operating |system.Some of the things we did in the couse was to write our |own SVC's, FLIH's, and Channel Programs. It was one of the |most intensive and fun class I had taken.I woudnt be a Sys |Prog if not for couple of courses by Dr.R and Mike |Stack.Unfortunately they are no longer offered at NIU. | |I think many people get the wrong impression seeing Dr. R at |Share. He has this difft personality as a professor and he is |not kidding when he writes: | | "One of those rules is that a program which does NOT DO WHAT IT |> IS SUPPOSED TO DO -- REGARDLESS of how long or how hard or how much |you |> 'sweat blood over it', is still, just, and only, a pile of chicken |> scratchings. It is NOT 50% or 10% or ANY percent a program! IT IS AN |> UN-PROGRAM!" | |An example of the above is we had a sorting assignment and |usually we run by his office to make sure things are ok with |assigments. One of my classmate after succesfully completing |the assignment and showing it to Dr.R turned in the "wrong |print out(which did not sort the Input)"...guess what he got???? | |0% | | |I am sure if any NIU grads are reading this they would |remember his BB's!!! | |---------------------------------------------------------------------- |For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, |send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO |Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html | <HTML><font face="Tahoma" size="1"><HR>AVISO LEGAL <br>Esta mensagem é destinada exclusivamente para a(s) pessoa(s) a quem é dirigida, podendo conter informação confidencial e/ou legalmente privilegiada.
