FreeVM was initially hosted at Clarkson University where I set it up.
However, the VM system there has been gone for several years and I don't
know if the list ever got moved. My guess is that it didn't or at least the
contents didn't get moved.
A good portion of the CHAT and RELAY system was done at Clarkson by two
programmers, Andrew Derbyshire and Valdis Kletnicks. Clarkson was an early
BITNET member and continued to be one until the late 80s when most of the
fBITNET functions went to the Internet. BITNET ran on VMNET through the
later portions of its use

Hello folks,
I am new to VMESA-L mailing list. I now have two things for you. I have
an old XYZZY v2.2 chat program (written in Rexx language) when I looked for
that and found them in one of my 9-track tapes that I saved on my
university’s mainframes. Many years ago, I used it on RELAY communications
on the BITNET network. I have complete XYZZY chat program but a missing
file called “XYZIUVC MODULE”. Does anyone have a latest copy of it
includes source code? How about a latest copy of Xyzzy (later than v2.2)?
That’s why I like to restore them for history purposes because I was
formerly BITNET user at my university until 1990 (graduation).
I was looking for other IUCV message traps and found a program called
IUVCTRAP on one of VM archive web site. Will it work on that Xyzzy chat
program?
Well, I was looking for BITNET history, Relay services, etc but can’t find
them through the Internet but was able find only one web site that mentions
Bitnet Relay service (history). Now I remember that Relay v1 was written
in Rexx language and Relay v2 was written in Pascal. I was looking for
Relay server software but can’t find them as well.
Since I was on other mailing list (Linux/390), I discovered that someone
discussed about FreeVM (another VM version). I was looking for FreeVM
mailing list archives, etc. but can’t find them through the Internet. Does
anyone know where FreeVM mailing list is?
That is all.
Thanks!
Tim
