Does anyone know the history of that "printer memory segment" nomenclature?

Examples: See POST.STATUS's 3rd column for phantoms. unix "icps -map | grep 0xaceb". See smat -p (aka ANALYZE.SHM -p) Look up "printer memory segment" in UV docs. Undoubtedly, there was a reason for calling it that way back when. Was it originally only a spot where printer output was buffered? Sounds like a question for David Meeks or Glen Herbert, answer to be archived by historian Dawn Wolthuis. cds ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
