Hey old timer. (GJC@MC here, ah, when two-character names were unique
enough).
The other mailing lists you mentioned, are they based on OCLC.ORG
also?
By the way, I'm trying to build an online service here at Village
with a HTTPD, and on-the-fly created HTML, using the SIOD scheme
interpreter and RDB relational database. Encrypted URL's to encode
a pointer to user context in each page I spit. Pretty sick, eh?
Hope to pull things together in time to support the fact that
over one million teachers are receiving a catalog in January
put out by a franchisee of ours announcing the ability to sign
up for a service tuned "just for teachers."
By the way, this HTML kind of stuff, Mosaic kind of client, is
how we VAX/NIL people wanted to support GUI in 1981. But all the
assistant-profesor level people said that you just *gotta* have a bitmapped
display mapped into virtual memory or it wouldn't be useful.
Then in 1983 we tried to convince Athena people to go that way.
No luck. The rest is history.
