@screwlisp

Just for the record, the mystery that we talked through on the air was that I'm building https://github.com/netsettler/netsettlement incrementally and the first of a large number of scans went public last night when I made the repo public.

There will be more appearing in this repo over time, as most of the work I've done is not yet checked into git.

What went up was the source code (as pdf only, not OCR'd) for CREF, my Cross-Referenced Editing Facility, an early (1984/pre-web) hypertext editor. If you're disk-space sensitive, I recommend browsing on site rather than cloning the repo. It's not huge yet, but it might be once done. You might resent the disk space and only want individual files, if any.

Also, for context, the CREF system
is described in a paper, jointly published at the Open University and the MIT AI Lab, that you can access here: https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/5619

Next up will likely be my Fortran-to-Lisp translator.

Anyone who logs onto to the fediverse slightly later than the show, this episode (scroll up for the archive) (and bonus 15 minutes extended cut on #peertube ) is a really really good one and significant, in Kent's historical document release beginning (scroll up). #boost the above toots if you are a

@screwlisp I've also uploaded various versions of my Fortran-to-Lisp translator. These are scans of old hardcopy, and I honestly have no idea if they work. :)

There might be other versions running around the net somewhere that DO work and I just don't know about them. If anyone knows about such, they should let me know so I can cross-link that.

You'll notice right away that the coding style is VERY different. The README.md file for the fortran folder has some useful notes about that.

There is a lot of metadata explaining the state of things, and the uncertain state of license information. See the README.md in the root folder and in the fortran folder for details.

They aren't OCR'd PDFs so its hard right now to test if they work. I think their main utility is to browse as a piece of history, honestly.

But at least now they are within reach of being OCR'd and run later, if I or someone else is up to it.

For now, as with all of this stuff, I just wanted to get rid of my hardcopy and get this into a more durable place.

Also, these scan files are quite big, even after using ghostscript to make them smaller. So cloning the repo may not be the thing to do. See the README.md for more info.
