Add INQUIR entries for system users and directories. #2288

Closed larsbrinkhoff closed 6 months ago

larsbrinkhoff commented 6 months ago

These entries were added, based on information from backed up LSR1 files: APPLE2, DRAGON, DRAW, GFR, GT40, MINI, PDP11, PEEK, TARAKA, and TEACH.

Only a draft so far. I tried putting all users in a single .UPD1. file, but that doesn't seem to work. Maybe they have to be separate files.

Really? I’m pretty sure you can have multiple entries. Separated by the correct separator.

if not, we can clearly have multiple .UPD1. files with different FN2s.

I tried using a ^_ separator, and I tried having just a blank line. Neither worked. Having separate files work.

Another aspect is that FILDI may have @ to indicate a directory on a particular machine. There can be multiple directories, separated by comma. I'm guessing the first directory is the home directory for the user. If the @ indicates a machine other than the current one, apparently strange things can happen. What happened in the build script is that the TEACH directory was TEACH@MC, and when the commands TEACH$^S and EMACS^K were run, the right EMACS init file was not picked up. So I think it's best to drop all @\.
