[ACM] A User's Guide to JHUNIX and APSERV1

[Christopher Sean Morrison]

Is anyone interested in this old JHUNIX user’s guide?  The content is “mostly” a timeless introduction to basic command-line functionality, but it does have some obsolete gems (e.g., the few references to JHUNIX and APSERV1).  It’s an informative and sometimes fun read, nostalgic for some.  It’s from a 1995 timeframe.

Cheers!

Sean

I'll take it, if the office doesn't want it.

I would personally greatly appreciate if anyone can scan it, but I know that's a big-ish ask.

I had a lot of fun using jhunix and apserv1 over the years of 2002-2004 (as I recall).

Interesting that the cat -> terminal diagram is somewhat similar to a diagram my friend Philip James and I made for a talk we gave two years ago at PyCon US: "Type python, press enter. What happens?" https://youtu.be/XVhSjZYwZJo?t=15m50s

OK the diagram is a little different, I take it back.

Oh well, at least now people can listen to me try to explain termios.

Interesting thought Asheesh. I’ll think about it … or maybe Ben or someone else is willing to scan it. :)

Cheers!

I hope somebody has kept museum copies of the old CS ugrad lab guides,
with titles like "Up To Your ULTRIX Again" and "SunOS, IRIX, and Ultrix,
Together As You've Never Wanted Them". Good times.

Oh dang, those sound great. I don't know if we still have them, though.
