Fm: Rogelio Perea 72056,1204 To: ALL Hello fellow OS9ers. This appeared in FidoNet's OS9_echo: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- From : DAVID JACKLIN Number : 202 of 202 To : ALL Date : 10/16/95 10:51am Subject : OS9 & Interactive TV Reference : NONE Read : [N/A] Private : NO Conf : 17 - OS9 National Echo I saw a bit this morning on PBS's The Computer Chronicles which featured a new interactive television system from Microware. The system is called DAVID (caught my attention at once) which stands for Digital Audio Video Interface Device and it uses OS9 as its operating system. Note that it's OS9, not OSK or similar. This appears to be a classic "industrial" OS9 implementation, with the system resident in ROM and accessed through heirarchical menuing. The interface device? A standard-looking TV remote control! The software offers view-on-demand movies, interactive commercial and retail services, weather and emergency connections and, of coures, game playing ability. More, as well. No fixed release date, yet, but very interesting, none the less. OS9 lives on! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Rogelio Perea AZ-TEC Group There is 1 Reply. #: 21266 S1/General Interest 11-Nov-95 11:06:31 Sb: #21265-OS9 lives on...

I believe that DAVID currently makes use of a 68k type chip, rather than a 6809.

My hardware vendors support division is happy about questions like this one! So whenever I know something new, I will let you know.

Fm: Gerd Gotthard 100135,262 To: all Hello, I would like to write an application similar to the Microware implementation of ftpd. It would be great if someone could supply the sources of ftpd or a similar utility. ftpd solves some programming problems: - ftpdc has no parent process (parent ID: 0), but it is forked by ftpd. - ftpd has to F$WAIT for ftpdc. But it doesn't. ftpd accepts immediatly new client connections. - ftpd cleans up any socket resource (no 'address already in use' errors) Any help will be appreciated Gerd There is 1 Reply. #: 21264 S12/OS9/68000 (OSK) 10-Nov-95 08:27:08 Sb: #21263-ftpd source ? Fm: Pete Lyall 76703,4230 To: Gerd Gotthard 100135,262 Check the LINUX archives. LINUX is a FREE implementation (and a GOOD one) of Unix, and the sources to everything in it are available. You'll hav to do a little bet surfing. A good place to start would be ftp.infomagic.com or sunsite.unc.edu. Pete Lyall Press !>
