In 1986 a packet monitor for the Sytek network was attached to a 3B2. I wrote the following software in C on the 3B2 to use this hardware:
In July of 1986, a USENET connection was made to the 3B20s.
In 1987 I ported from the Honeywell system a terminal full screen form package and database updater in C to the 3B2 and converted it for System V UNIX using the curses library. It was originally written in December of 1982. There was basicly four parts to the program.
The user defined data items by name, data type and form position with the Format program. The user defined data items by name and record position with the Record program. The user then wrote a program to use the above definitions by calling the advanced routines. For example, the Update routine is called with the format file name and the record file name. It creates the intersection of the item name lists from the two discription files and displays those items in the form for the user to view or update.
In 1988 I wrote an OSCAR (Operating System ChAnge Request) program that allowed system programmers to keep track of their work requests using the above full screen package.
