Autzoo.650 NET.general utzoo!henry Sat May 23 21:40:10 1981 new site on net This is to announce the presence on Usenet of duke!utzoo, the U of Toronto zoology department. We are the only U of T site on the net at the moment, and will forward things (within reason) to local non-net sites like the Computer Systems Research Group. Although this is the largest zoology school in the western hemisphere, the computer-systems operation is not very large, mostly because it is a fairly recent acquisition. We have an 11/44 with a 300-meg disk, a bunch of (sigh) DZ11's, and several smaller cpus. We run V7+PWB plus assorted other software from various places. We do text processing, data acquisition (using two satellite 11/05's), some research in areas like database systems, and a bunch of miscellaneous odds and ends. We're interested in better text-handling software (especially formatters), data acquisition and analysis tools, distributed processing a la Ethernet, general Unix improvement and enhancement, and VAXes. Contact for net matters (and almost anything else) is Henry Spencer, duke!utzoo!henry (preferred), (416)978-6060 (if you must). At present, we connect only to Duke. We have no autodialer (yet) and hence are unwilling to call other people; we are TENTATIVELY willing to let other people call us, and several local Unix sites have expressed interest in doing so. Details not yet figured out. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
