programming languages - Anybody know how to get ahold of SAM76 source code for Linux? -

-

resistors.org site , foxthompson.net download links stale/broken.

http://www.resistors.org/index.php/the_sam76_programming_language

every other link i've been able track down on 'net (mostly in old newsgroup posts) broken. e-mails respective webmasters bounced.

i have morbid curiosity arcane programming languages, , sam76 sounded interesting , mess around with.

there quite few lisp folks lurking on site, figured might have lead... heard sam76 had redimentary functional programming ideas.

extra credit: link track down copy of sam76 manual!

wayback has copy of s76.exe dos , windows

i believe r.e.s.i.s.t.o.r.s (have no idea letters mean) group of kids played computers , electronics in claude kagan's barn in pennington, n.j. near princeton. because developer of trac, calvin mooers, spent rest of life inventing software patent , sued in sight, claude (whose employer, western electric laboratories sued mooers) created similar language called "sam76" supposedly based on s7 , m6 "languages bell labs". have original tutorial manual written , illustrated r.e.s.... , versions on paper tape altair , trs-80 floppy disk. think looked more @os@is;; change special characters , command names made trac. claude wrote neat graphic games

for trs-80 in sam76/trac.

yes, resistors did indeed meet in claude's barn filled old telephone , computer equipment. claude's version of trac started on pdp-8, migrated pdp-10, , legal reasons mentioned ended sam-76. (fyi, sam stands either "strachey , mcilroy" or "same mooers". resistors stood "radically emphatic students interested in science, technology, , other research studies" as stood anything.

starting when members of resistors, peter eichenberger , wrote pdp-10 trac processor , later reimplemented pdp-11, adding little multi-terminal time-sharing monitor. kept lower profile western electric (either that, or 19 year olds had no noticable assets) , mooers stayed on cordial terms.

i'm trying create application adheres following: no taskbar no console or form window can utilize console.writeline() . (i.e. if executes app command prompt write console.) the problem if create windows form (or wpf) application can have there no taskbar, console or window show up, console.writeline() nothing. if create console app, writes console, can't figure out how hide (and if did hide it, write command prompt window?)... how do this? just create standard console application. callers responsibility hide window caused program (from how run c# console application console hidden ): system.diagnostics.processstartinfo start = new system.diagnostics.processstartinfo(); start.filename = dir + @"\myprocesstostart.exe"; start.windowstyle = system.diagnostics.processwindowstyle.hidden;

this question has answer here: how convert between big-endian , little-endian values in c++? 28 answers i've been looking around how convert big-endian little-endians. didn't find solve problem. seem there's many way can conversion. anyway following code works ok in big-endian system. how should write conversion function work on little-endian system well? this homework, since systems @ school running big-endian system. it's got curious , wanted make work on home computer also #include <iostream> #include <fstream> using namespace std; int main() { ifstream file; file.open("file.bin", ios::in | ios::binary); if(!file) cerr << "not able read" << endl; else { cout << "opened" << endl; int i_var; double d_var; while(!file.eof()) {...
