I thought I did answer your qeustion.  Ethernet was used by the Unixes
within DEC and they did not implement DECnet.  Ethernet was a device
and the module to run that device was in the monitor.  ETHNET.MAC
still doesn't look like it's spelled correctly but I cannot recall
the correct spelling so you'll just have to live with that.

You have missed the point again.

First, no version of Unix ran on the KL, and I am specifically wondering about
it, not -11s or Vaxen.  Also, I'm not concerned with the spelling of the source
module.

Yes, Ethernet support could, in theory, have been sold separately or simply
included in an update and/or new version.  But why?  From DEC's POV, the only
networking product that could use it was DECnet.  Then I remembered the
DECserver product line (I.e., Ethernet-based terminal servers.  I cannot
remember if there were also Ethernet print servers.)  So maybe the decision was
made to include Ethernet support as a "standard" feature, because even if a
customer didn't have DECnet, they could be sold DECservers.

The original question is, "was Ethernet support included only with DECnet, or
was it made part of the standard feature set of TOPS-10 & TOPS-20?"  At the
moment I can't remember.

Not with unix.  Do you think that the unix developers didn't use the
ethernet device?

If you want to know those kinds of specifics, go find the SPD for the
product.

I told you to go find it on the tape.  If it's on the Monitor Distribution
Tape, then everyone got it and it was a standard feature.  If it
was on the DECnet tape, then only those who bought DECnet would get
the monitor module.

Loook at the first file of the DECNET tape which should be a directory
of that tape.  If there is a monitor save set, then the ethernet was
not generally supported.

The code for the RA60/80s was put on the Monitor distribution tape.
I don't see any reason the ethernet code shouldn't have been put
on the monitor distribution tape.  I didn't design the
monitor packaging.

Again, I am talking about the KL.  From DEC's POV, the only networking product

While people have saved many surprising things from that time, and subsequently

Umm, not true.  By the time the NIA20 came out, it supported TCP/IP as well as
(OK, make that "in addition to") DECnet.

I first met the PDP-10 architecture on a 2040 at UChicago in 1977; it was soon
upgraded to a 2050, and eventually to a 2060.  In the mean time, a second 2060
was purchased, to move administrative functions off the academic machine.
None too cleverly, these were named "Chip" (admin) and "Dale" (academic) by a
systems programmer who learned the names of the machines on which courses were
taught at Marlboro.

These machines were not networked; file and mail interchange was done by a
dual-port disk hack (which was hacked by students at least once), by which time
I was working full time as a systems programmer on the SVS system (Amdahl) and
the 20s.  I put in a new release of the MM mail program to add a Phonenet-type
interface, which introduced me to the late Mark Crispin, and eventually to my
taking a job at Stanford's academic computing facility, LOTS.

Besides being an ARPANET site, Stanford had a campus network as the result of
midnight steam tunnel forays by Ralph G., Len B. (a DEC alum), and Sandy L.,
dragging 3Mb/s Ethernet coax around the campus to all of the PDP-10 systems (10
TOPS-20 sites, the SAIL multiprocessor, and a TENEX 1077).  Len designed an
Ethernet interface for the MASSBUS called a MEIS, detail design done by George
S. who worked for him.  This eventually was the first product from a company
which Len and Sandy started called 'cisco Systems (that's an apostrophe, not a
quote mark).

I later went to work for Cisco, then came to the Seattle area to work for Len
at XKL.

As you might imagine given the history, I never did work in a DECnet environment.

We were not allowed to change BLISS-10, fix it's bugs and other nefarious
"ducttaping thumbs to opposite walls" restrictions.  I never got told
the whole story but it was a mess.

To avoid these problems, VAX product line wrote a BLISS compiler with
the product goal of allowing the language to be used across all
hardware platforms.

And the -11 DECnet layers had to talk to the -10 DECnet layers which had to
be written using BLISS-36, not BLISS-16.

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

None of the code for the DECnet "layers" on the -10 side, for both TOPS-10
and TOPS-20, was ever written in BLISS-36.  Nor do most of the respective DECnet
layers of two network nodes communicate directly with each other.

Network management is not one of the layers in the OSI network model used by
DECnet.  Schematic diagrams of DECnet show NML as a rectangle adjacent to
all the other layers, although some of the layers do not have any NML-controlled
functions.  NML on the -10 was written in BLISS36 because of corporate edict,
not any technical mandate.  In theory, NML could have been written in COBOL.

When the hardware was much more expensive than the software, including sources
was probably not seen as a significant revenue loss and perhaps even as a bonus
for customers.  (Kind of like when I buy some doughnuts at the local shop, and
they throw in a couple of doughnut holes too.)  That practice stopped by the
mid-1970s, and eventually just getting a source listing on fiche cost serious
money.  Having sources means being able to apply published bug fixes immediately
instead of waiting for an update, or perhaps even doing them yourself.


>So what was Bliss-36 used for?

I'm relying totally on my memory here, so be forewarned... (has it really been
that many years?  There must be some mistake...)

Little LCG software was written in BLISS because, as I mentioned, the product
line was already mature when the BLISS decision was made.  Also, BLISS was
strongly resisted, particularly among the TOPS-10 dinosaurs.

I can only remember some product pieces that were written in BLISS36 (see my
caveat).  NMLT10/20, and parts of the tool chain for producing images for the
MCB-based communication front-ends (specifically, TKB36 and VNP36).  Customers
never got the sources for any of these, and so they didn't need BLISS36.  That
should be reflected in the SPDs (Software Product Description).    For legal
reasons, those spelled out very clearly what was included in the product and
what, if any, other software was required in order to build it.  I'm reasonably
certain customers didn't need any BLISS, and the PDP-11 cross-assembler
needed to compile the data structures (MACY11) was included with those products.

Well, that's what the edict mandated.  We were even supposed to write
TOPS-10 and TOPS-20 patches in BLISS and then apply them to the
EXE.

Cross-platform feature would affect applications, not monitors.

Why do you say that?

I'm reasonably certain that BLISS36 was not included with either TOPS-10 or
TOPS-20; it was sold separately.  Was BLISS10 available through DECUS, since it
came from CMU?  Or did DEC's deal preclude that?

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, BLIS10.EXE was included on the Fortran
installation tape.

I am cedrtain that BLISS36 was included on source tapes which contained
sources written in BLISS-36.  I did the fucking packaging.

No.

CMU's deal with DEC precluded that.  Note the differnce of phrasing.

No, why did you say I didn't see the problems?

Except that DEC didn't release the sources for any products written in BLISS36.

Because we dealt with our dirty laundry in-house and not in front
of the customers.

You are wrong.  Cusotmers could buy source tapes.

We still had to package source tapes for SDC submission even
if a customer never got it.

You still don't get it, do you?  You just can't see past your own ego.
 Why wouldn't I see the problems?

There was never an option for customers to buy all the sources for the DECnet
product.  They got the sources for the -10 based utilities written in MACRO
(NFT/FAL, SETHOST, and NETGEN).  DECnet-10 customers got the necessary
additional monitor sources.  DECnet-20 customers got a different pre-built
monitor with DECnet support included.  The source for anything written in BLISS
for DECnet was never available to customers.

No, and there is no SDC part number for a complete DECnet source tape.

The problems are apparently not of a type to affect security, unlike C's
handling of strings.
