Great article.

Didn't know that he developed Tex. We used it in 1979, so we must have been
quite early adopters.

It was a godsend for our little software house. We ran it on CP/M machines
including the Cromemco System 3 and Altos 8000.

At the Micro Show in London at Earls Court in 1980 I met up with the head
of the Micro Centre from Edinburgh. I asked him what he thought about our
products. He said,"great documentation". That was thanks to Tex and an NEC
Spinwriter that we used to print. Long before Laser Printers became
affordable.

Little did I know that 25 years later I would be living in Palo Alto and
regularly spending time on the Stanford Campus.

All those little villages that I only knew by name in 1979 had morphed into
Silicon Valley.

Re: IPCS LIST command to display storage when pointer is in a different address space

2020-04-19 Thread Christopher Y. Blaicher
That is basically the right syntax.  IPCS L address LEN(length) ASID(X'')

[ External - This message originated Externally.  Use proper judgement and

Is there an IPCS command to list storage when the pointer is in a different 
address space, or does this require an IPCS clist?

I would like to 

 LIST  X+n? ASID(Y)

where X is in address space Z.

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me, you should 
preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems, especially those 
from irresponsible companies.
