>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
>universityâs 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 âXYZIUVC MODULEâ. Does anyone have a latest copy of it
>includes source code? How about a latest copy of Xyzzy (later than v2.2)?
>Thatâs 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 canât 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 canât 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 canât find them through the Internet. Does
>anyone know where FreeVM mailing list is?
>That is all.
