Ready exp c C The System Language C (Revised 01/01/86) For an explanation of the command to compile C programs, see EXPLAIN C COMMAND. C is designed for program portability and system programming. Since C is now available on most computer systems (it is very popular on micros and minis), you may write a program on one computer and be fairly confident that it will run on another with minimal adaptation. One of the most important aspects of C is the run-time library that comes as part of the C package. The routines in this library make the programmer's job easier by performing many of the basic tasks that are common to all types of programs. Most of the routines in the library are written in C; even the C compiler is written in C. C was originally designed and implemented by Bell Telephone Laboratories This implementation was created by the Software Development Group of the University of Waterloo.

It is a DEC VAX 11/785 computer running the Berkeley 4.3BSD version of the UNIX operating system. The main components are a main processor with 16 megabytes of main memory, a disk controller with 4 Winchester disks of 456 megabyte capacity each, and access to two tape drives which each can handle tapes at 1600 or 6250 BPI density. For printer output, UNIX2 shares a 600-line-per-minute Printronix printer with the VAX/VMS system (V1). For a list of other computer systems at Dartmouth, type EXPLAIN HARDWARE ON-CAMPUS. UNIX2 is used for computer science and engineering applications as well as for preparation of some technical and mathematical documents. It is also used as a general-purpose computer, and provides access to various national and international computer networks. Ready exp netw conn NETWORK CONNECTIONS (10 October 1994) 32-line explanation. Examples: connect dcts1 (with DarTerminal, you do not type c d1 'connect' or 'c') Almost all terminals at Dartmouth (and most operated by off-campus users) are connected to the Kiewit Network, rather than a particular computer. To select the computer system you want, you must specify it by name to the Kiewit Network. When you turn on your terminal or dial in, you receive a network banner followed by the @ prompt. To sign on to a computer, type the CONNECT command (which may be abbreviated to C) followed by the name (or abbreviation) of the system to which you want to connect. (When using DarTerminal on a Macintosh, you receive a special dialog box instead of the @ and you don't type C or CONNECT --just the name of the computer.) The names and abbreviations of some publicly available systems are: COMPUTER FULL NAME ABBREVIATION Dartmouth College Time Sharing 1 DCTS1 D1 Library Online Catalog Library Lib Coos (DECsystem 5000 with Ultrix)) coos coos Cedar (VAX 7000 with VMS) Cedar Cedar After you have given this command you should receive the sign-on banner for the system you selected -- you may have to press the Return key once or twice to get the sign-on message. Except for the Online Library Catalog, you must have a valid user number to sign on to each system. For information on obtaining user numbers for any of these systems, contact the Consultants' Office in Kiewit at 646-3417. Ready exp cedar Can't explain "CEDAR".

Ready exp xkiewit Kiewit tasks ============ This list of large and small tasks for Kiewit was intended to culminate in a list that most of Kiewit agreed with, to be taken as a starting place for discussion with users. The final goal was to have been a public list of priorities for Kiewit. Many ideas were collected and grouped into categories thought to address the Kiewit mission. Work then shifted to small groups addressing each of those areas. The set of individual tasks listed here was never ordered or made consistent, reasonable, and non-redundant. Numbers are 1-100 priority scale. Tasks grouped by major activities that directly address our mission. ==================================================================== marketing/training/providing access ----------------------------------- 10 think about why computing is hard to use at Dartmouth Specific problems include: - you must have a computer nearby - you must often have certain building wiring nearby - you must turn on the computer - you must interact with the computer through a physical device, like keyboard or mouse. - you must sometimes tell the network what computer you want - you must sign onto some computers - you must often start up a certain application - many programs are poor (MacWrite, MacTools***:dar2text...) - many programs just don't work at all - many machines are unconnected for Mail - printing is often quite difficult - file systems are often solo (not shared), small, slow, and insecure. 10 network Help with intelligence! 40 add training programs for users and staff 50 eliminate automatic allocation of user numbers to students and new Dartmouth people. That is, analyze what they use those numbers for and provide those services in other ways: perhaps on their personal computer, or as network services available without an account on any particular machine. Some of the services they use are: News, Help and join Consult, Mail, Xyz, printing, file handling and sharing, ? 65 evaluate, proselytize and demo software to users who need it 90 des. & impl. a friendly UI to our computer systems and appls. educational software -------------------- 10 build courseware 15 write proposal for instructional building blocks 65 evaluate, proselytize and demo courseware to users who need it file ---- 1 uniform, fast, easy-to-use file transfer between all std systems 3 uniform transparent backed-up file system; shareable files 5 network-accessed Mac software library 15 address the short-run backup problem 25 finish Dar2Byt etc print (see Help Xkiewit Print) ---- 3 uniform reliable easy print service 20 print from DCTS or other to local LaserWriter? mail ---- 1 Mac mail interface 1 auto conversion of e-mail to Hinman mail 5 dumb interface to non-host mail (c mail) for non-Mac users 25 auto conversion of e-mail to USPS mail 25 Tie mail system into off campus nets in a slick manner. 30 e-mail name service for non-DCTS machines 50 Allow people to forward their phone to an automatic message-taker, which would convert a voice message into e-mail and send it to them. info services: library, db's, bbd --------------------------------- 5 Mac interface to on-line catalog 9 explore adding databases on net 10 add 5 net databases in 5 years 10 Make course registration mail list available 10 network Help with intelligence! 20 have on-line catalog tell if book signed out, etc 40 network news (Kiewit, College, outside world) 50 make on-line catalog search fast enough.

Researchers should not be forced to switch from DCTS to the Prime to VAX/VMS just to continue doing their work. 50 smooth growth paths. To a great degree, researchers should be able to increase the amount of computing they use without drastically changing the way they compute. They should be able to stay in the same operating environment. 50 accept people's money in return for service (we have no way of doing this for the many smaller-than-Ditchfields on campus. People seem to need us to do this.) 50 guaranteed service (currently we can't guarantee a certain level of service to anyone, yet people seem to desire this greatly, and would pay for it. For instance, we could guarantee that only two people will have accounts on a given machine.) 50 manage other people's machines for them, as, for instance, Laredo Solo would like to see us do. 50 advise them on doing so for themselves. Steve Maker 10 January 87 Ready exp xkiewit mission Kiewit statement of mission =========================== 1. Computing Services should maintain Dartmouth College's position as a leading edge institution for employing computers in undergraduate education (a) by providing free access to modern, centralized computing facilities and the campus network, (b) by continuing its commitment to foster the use of computers in the classroom, (c) by offering a full range of support services, and (d) by enabling students, faculty and staff to purchase recommended equipment at highly competitive prices. 2. In order to attract and retain first-rate faculty and graduate students, Computing Services should provide access to the computing services that they may require, in accordance with the policy on research computing that has been set forth by the Council on Computing. 3. Computing Services should provide Dartmouth administrators, staff, and faculty, with central, easily accessible data bases and the tools necessary to manage their own portions of the data. Ready exp xkiewit ration Rationale for changes: Move "mac mail interface" from 25 to 1: Avery 90% of a mail system is in place, but is under used because of the command driven front end. Uping mail use would have more impact than any other single project. Add "Make course registration mail list available": Avery Tie mail system to course registration so an instructor has a preexisting mail list for each section taught. Add "Tie mail system into off campus nets": Avery Good for Dartmouth image and might be occasionally used for academic purposes. Add "build a Mac library interface": Avery I know that the library runs their own shop, but the truth is only Kiewit has the Mac experience needed to build a library interface for the Mac that works. Add "have on-line catalog tell if book signed out, etc": Avery Enhance the library facility to give the status of the book, ie in stack or signed out. Add "make on-line cat search fast enough. Batch searches?": Avery Put enough cycles or write the back end smart enough to run large searches in reasonable time. Maybe add facility to batch searches offpeak. Add "Improve User Services Mac support (db/sprdsht/etc)": Avery Reorganize user services to recognise the arrival of the Mac. Creat a help desk that is adequately trained and staffed to support admin database/spread sheet users as well as MacWrite. Add "plan for exportable net sw w/interface to std nets": Byrne Develop plan to generalize communications (network) software so that it is truly exportable and has simple and reasonable interface to standard networking "products" in the marketplace Add "implement exportable net sw plan": Byrne Implement this plan. Add "make easy-to-use file transfer for all std systems": Byrne Produce a truly easy-to-use file transfer protocol for the Macintosh and the IBM PC or equivalent, which will operate on one (or all) of the standard operating systems, i.e. UNIX, VMS, CMS etc. Add "net print, file-service, backup": Byrne Related to the above, complete development of network printing, file-serving, archiving (back-up) facilties which create a warm and friendly electronic environment in support of personal computers. Add "write proposal for instructional building blocks": Byrne Write a large proposal seeking funding for a large project to develop programming building blocks ("LEGOS") which will simplify the task of using the Macintosh (casually) to illustrate important concepts, etc. in the (routine) teaching of a course. Add "explore adding databases on net": Byrne Establish a joint Library-Computing Services Task Force to explore the possibilities for making useful information data bases, in addition to the card catalogue, available over the Dartmouth (and any other) network. Add "add 5 net databases in 5 years": Byrne Within five years add five significant publically available data bases to the network. Add "national network-accessed Mac software library": Byrne To negotiate agreements necessary to establish a library of proprietary Macintosh software applications, and to develop a main-frame system to handle all functions required to manage, maintain and account for access to this library. Designed the system to operate under one or more widely available main-frame operating systems using one or more standard network protocols. The objective is to facilitate the distribution, use and updating of Macintosh applications. Add "market our services or products for income": Byrne Using the widely useful products developed as a result of the above endeavors as an inventory base, renew marketing efforts to sell network services or specific products outside of the college under appropriate (and legal) arrangements which guarantee royalty (Legitimate!!!) income to Dartmouth. Comment on "uniform, fast, easy-to-use file transfer between all std systems": Bryant This would mean having DCTS on the ethernet among other things, and have it able to make outbound connections Comment on "net print (reliable and easy good-looking paper output)": Bryant This means avoiding the D1-U2-qms kludge, and perhaps making LaserWriters easier to get at (on the network, perhaps). Comment on "commit to the concept of network services": Bryant Make it possible to put services on the network as a matter of course, rather than on a special-case by special-case basis. Add "encourage professionalism at Kiewit": Bryant e.g. writing of papers or memoranda, sponsor seminars on computing, suggest that people go to conferences, recognize areas of research, identify and recognize projects, and follow them through. add "add training programs for users and staff": Bryant recognize that this is not only legitimate but also essential. add "Coordinate PCC and rest of Kiewit": Bryant Ready exp image IMAGEWRITER (18 November 1987) An ImageWriter is a dot-matrix printer that produces relatively good-quality output when connected to a Macintosh or an AppleTalk Network. ImageWriter I and II models can both be connected directly to a single Macintosh. However, only ImageWriter II models with a special option card installed can be connected to an AppleTalk Network for shared use. Several public ImageWriter print stations are available around campus. Type EXPLAIN IMAGEWRITER PRINTERS for more information.

Ready exp telenet TELENET (15 November 1988) 41-line explanation. GTE Telenet is a public communications network that lets you sign on to many computers across the United States and overseas, often without a long-distance phone call (or at least with a call to a city nearer than the remote computer). You can make both inbound and outbound connections to and from the Dartmouth computers. INBOUND -- Using inbound Telenet, you can connect to various Dartmouth computers from anywhere in the United States and from many overseas points without making a long-distance phone call to Hanover. For these inbound connections, you must have a Telenet User ID (see below). For information on making inbound Telenet connections, see EXPLAIN TELENET INBOUND. OUTBOUND -- You can also use Telenet to connect to other computers on the Telenet network as long as you have an appropriate login ID for that computer. For computers that accept "collect calls", that is all you need (they will charge you for Telenet services). For other hosts, you must have a Dartmouth-issued Prepaid Host Telenet User ID (Dartmouth will bill you for Telenet use; see below). For more on making outbound Telenet connections, see EXPLAIN TELENET OUTBOUND. To obtain a Telenet ID number you must send a written request to Armande Boright, Regional Affairs, Personal Computing Center, One McNutt Hall, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH 03755, specifying whether you want "Inbound" or "Outbound" IDs, or both. Include your billing address and user number for the Dartmouth College computer system you will be accessing. Do not include your password. If you plan to charge the calls to a college account, include that number with the three digit object code. NOTE: Due to a delay in Telenet invoicing, billing lags behind the actual usage by three months. There is a wealth of on-line information available from Telenet for Dartmouth users who have access to the DarTerminal communications software. At the connect prompt, type "Tel 212 141," enter the user name "Phones," and enter the password "Phones." Telenet provides a menu-driven information program, including customer service phone numbers, information on asynchronous dial service, and a listing of every local telephone number by state. The program answers any number of questions, and regular users are urged to make a hard copy for easy reference. Ready exp telenet inbou TELENET INBOUND (26 June 1989) 33-line explanation. Type EXPLAIN TELENET to get information on how to access Telenet for a listing of all of the Inbound telephone numbers by states. To use a Dartmouth College computer via Telenet, you must have a valid user number for that computer, as well as a Telenet User ID. The procedure for signing on varies depending on whether your EDDARTddd number is less than 500, or 500 or greater. If your EDDARTddd number is less than 500, follow the instructions below: * Set your modem speed to 300 or 1200. * Dial the local Telenet phone number. * At the "terminal" prompt, press the Return key twice. * At the "@" prompt, type "ID EDDARTddd" and press the Return key. * At the "password" prompt, type "dddddd", where "dddddd" is the Telenet password issued with your EDDART number, and press the Return key. * At the "@" prompt, type the Dartmouth College central computer system which you want to connect according to the following information: c 603 20 DCTS1 c 603 20 e UNIX2 c 603 20 f VAX1 (VAX/VMS operating system) c 603 20 g LIB (Library on-line catalog) c 603020.02 CMS1 (IBM 4381, VM/CMS operating system) If your EDDARTddd number is 500 or greater, type "c 603 20, EDDARTddd, addaa" (where addaa may be either/or a combination of letters and numbers), at the first "@" prompt. NOTE: Do not precede the EDDART number with the "ID" characters. Ready exp telen outb TELENET OUTBOUND (15 November 1988) 39-line explanation. To use a remote computer system at a different location or city, you must have a computer user number or entry number for that remote computer. You must also know the Telenet address for that remote computer, and whether or not it will accept collect or prepaid calls. It cannot accept both. If collect calls are acceptable, simply type "TEL ddd dd" where ddd dd is the Telenet address. No further passwords or procedures are necessary. You will be billed for the computer and Telenet usage by that remote computer center. To connect to a collect call system: * Connect to the Kiewit Network as usual. * When you receive the "@" prompt, type CONNECT TELENET or C TEL (the Connect or C is not used with DarTerminal), followed by the address of the remote computer. The address must be preceded by a space, e.g., C TEL 602 20. The address consists of a three-digit telephone area code, and a two-digit number that identifies the system. * Follow the sign-on procedure for the remote computer. Some remote computers require that you use their editing conventions. This might affect such special functions as CTRL-X, RUBOUT (or DELETE), CTRL-R, and other character-handling features of the Kiewit Network. CTRL-S should maintain its function of suspending communication. If these keys don't work as expected, call the appropriate number at the remote computer center. If the remote computer accepts only prepaid calls, you will need a special five-digit "prepaid password." This password can be obtained by writing to Armande Boright, Regional Affairs, Personal Computing Center, One McNutt Hall, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH 03755. In this case, the response to the "@" prompt is "C TEL NNN NN PREPAID DDD DD" where NNN YY is replaced with the Telenet address of the remote computer, and DDD DD is replaced by your prepaid password. The password identifies you to the Kiewit Network, and your monthly Kiewit bill will include any usage of prepaid services. For additional information, type EXPLAIN TELENET.

Ready exp history HISTORY OF COMPUTING AT DARTMOUTH (8 November 1983) 48-line explanation. The first computer at Dartmouth College was an LGP-30 acquired in 1959. It could accommodate only one user at a time and was small and slow. The enthusiasm with which it was received, however, revealed a strong demand for a better mouse trap. In September, 1963, under the direction of mathematics professors John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz, a project to establish a time-sharing system at Dartmouth got under way. The fruits of this project were BASIC, a simplified programming language, and a time-sharing system -- using the GE-235 and Datanet-30 computers. This system began operations in May, 1964. In 1965, Dartmouth placed off-campus terminals in secondary schools in the area. At the same time, other computer installations began to use Dartmouth's system software. A larger building was soon necessary. By 1966, the Kiewit Computation Center building -- a gift of Peter and Evelyn Kiewit -- housed a GE-635 system. A new operating system -- which later became known as the Dartmouth Time-Sharing System (DTSS) -- was written in 1966-1968 for the GE-635 system. Ten years later, in January, 1976, a Honeywell 66/40 replaced the GE-635. The 66/40 was upgraded, made approximately twice as fast, in September 1978. It is now referred to as a 66/DPS-3. In 1978, the operating system was renamed Dartmouth College Time Sharing (DCTS) when the rights to the abbreviation DTSS were sold to the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. In 1982, we acquired a Honeywell DPS 8/44 computer to run a second DCTS system. This and other computers, which have been added since 1979, are connected through special communications cabling and machinery known as the Kiewit Network. The other computers currently on the network include a Prime 750 which runs the PRIMOS operating system, two Vax 11/750s running UNIX (a trademark of Bell Laboratories), and a Vax 11/780 running the VMS operating system. The College's library catalogs are being placed on-line using one of the Vax 11/750s. In 1983, the Trustees of Dartmouth College trademarked the name DARTMOUTH STRUCTURED BASIC programming language to refer to the latest version of Basic designed to closely meet the proposed ANSI standard. Computing at Dartmouth is unique because of Kiewit's policy of allocating free computer time to all students, faculty, and staff. Fully 85% of Dartmouth's students eventually use the computing services. See also, EXPLAIN KIEWIT.
