About

Heavily exposed to the Nord-100 multi user environment in the years 1984-1987 and surrounded by a small crew of bullying mentors, the Svinhufvud alias soon started producing a few select pieces of software on the school Sintran/Nord-100 computer.

Some Software

The List-All-Files program is probably a colloborative effort, now posted here on the NDWiki site.

* File:List-all-files.symb.txt

Talk-Reserve-Terminal locks up a free terminal and sends text to it.

Coming Soon?

Upcoming stuff is the Cove multi user dungeon, written in MAC and using XMSG for terminal-terminal communications, and possibly also NordKOM - an old bbs style community thing.

Things not to do on a Sintran system

  • Don't ever, never rename user SYSTEM to anything else *not* beginning with the letters SYSTEM. Renaming to, for example, SYSTEMBOLAGET, is ok. Access control was performed on the user name, and without access you couldn't change the name back. A full system restore was needed since there no longer was a system user available. Oops.
