[HECnet] PDXVAX - 40MB Memory - VAXstation 4000/VLC?

Got an idea for that too :)

Make the file human readable, but have a standardised "tag line" with all the relevant data on it in a simple-to-parse format (in this case pipe | separated), e.g.

!HNINFO:1.401|CHIMPY|AlphaServer 800|OpenVMS 8.3|Comments go here|

Or something.

I was meaning to talk to you about that - the listing for CODA is
incorrect, too.   I don't know where this list gets its information.

Clearly, keeping all these separate lists updated manually is getting to
be impossible.

If Sampsa's INFO.TXT file contained more information AND had a
standardized format that was not too hard to parse, then we could use that
as the basis for automatically generating all these lists. "If..." :-)
