Johnny,

That's really fantastic!

Just one question, where are the dancing dogs? ;)

Coming... Jeez. The impatience of this crowd... ;-)

Ok. I just thought I'd stir some interest and just general noise by
announcing that I've written a small web-server running under RSX.
It's written in BASIC+2, and uses the TCP/IP stack for RSX that I've
also written. There are probably a bunch of bugs and issues still
around, so I'm happy to take any bug reports, comments or whatever.

The url is http://madame.update.uu.se/, and if anyone is curious about
the code, it's at mim.update.uu.se (same machine, other IP), under
MIM::DU:[HTTPD]WWW.B2S (also on HECnet)

If people have any interest in this stuff, or something else/more, I'm
interested in hearing about it. The TCP/IP stack will eventually
(soon) be available for others to download and use, and apart from the
web server, I've also written a telnet client, and a few small
services under TCP, as well as some tools for administration. I have
some polishing to do, I need to finish a DNS resolved, and I'd like to
also finish FTP and a telnet server, but I might be open to
distributing things before I've finished all those things, especially
if someone is interested in helping writing stuff.

I have interfaces completed for BASIC+2, PDP-11 C, Macro-11. FORTRAN
77 should also work, but I haven't tried it yet.

This all runs under RSX-11M-PLUS V4.6, but I think it should be
possible to get running under almost any M+ version, but there might
be some hacking needed for some versions.
It will not work under 11M, and I never expect it to. One or two
drivers as well as one or two tools really are big enough that I need
to use the split I/D space feature in M+. Rewriting stuff to not need
that is way too much work.
