You're talking about layers. It's a good thing. Early versions also
supported multiple windows on the AT&T 5620 dmd, but that's a different
newsgroup.

1 Ampere is 1 Coulomb per second.

Re: TIS a question about the COBOL RTL

johnrrea...@earthlink.net (John Reagan) — Sun, 14 Mrz. 2010 13:36:51 UT

Does it also return a TEB from any C program? Or just ones linked with the
DEC$COBRTL?
I haven't looked at the RTL sources in a while. Is there some
LIB$INITIALIZE routine that calls something to get TIS in play?
Of course, given the static nature of COBOL data storage, I have a hard time
imagining any real COBOL program being multi-threaded on OpenVMS.

I expect if I am right it worked on any terminal supported by

No, an electrical current is actually a movement of charge. It's unit
of measurement is the amount of charge that has move per unit of time.

I agree completely.
Again, I agree completely. However, there is another issue. In the
past, and particularly in the early days of ALPHA, DEC had the fastest
and best processors on the planet. This was also a selling point. Now
that IA64 is lagging significantly behind, even folks who like VMS might

PuTTY is a very good piece of software indeed. I paid for my WRQ
Reflection kit, which I like for it support of Burroughs T27 and Data
General terminals but I could live with just PuTTY alone. It gets
installed on all pc's at home right after installing Grisoft's AVG

That is interesting. I discharged a lot of Crts in my time and stored
them on the shelf. Initially I touch the anode after a good discharge
and found no charge there. A couple of months later I got nailed.
