Help with TCBASX and TCRANX (PDP8/OS8/TC08)
How do you run TCBASX.DG (TC01 Basic Exerciser) and TCRANX.DG (TC01 Random Exerciser)? When I run TCBASX.DG it almost immediately halts. Pressing makes the TC08 controller lights grind but no tape motion. TCRANX.DG is basically the same. Is there any documentation for these two programs? Thanks, Marc Howard
setting reply to in VMS 5.x MAIL
Is there a way to set the reply-to value in VMS 5 mail? I want to send mail as SYSTEM but anyone who receives the message on the outside world who wants to reply I'd like it go to to a different email address. I am working to solve the problem myself, but if anyone knows already and can help save me the time :-) Thanks Bill

It seems all the major carriers will do front-door pickups these days. -C

There's a weird Sord M23P (I think) from the early 80's at this elderly persons house in Walnut Creek, CA - East of the bay. She can't pack and ship it - it's too big and heavy.
