He may have paper listings of his filestore code (the version that ran on the VAX and the Fred-machines, and not either of Hamish's originals). One of my vacation jobs was to write a user interface to the filestore to replace one of the older ones (I think JGH's?). It was in service for some years. I may have that on paper. Can't remember what host it was for. Either VMS or the Interdatas. In terms of history I guess it was the equivalent of an FTP client and I suspect predates FTP. George wrote the comms part or the cubewar program I mentioned; he says Nick (I presume Rothwell) wrote the user interface. He also reminded me that I wrote an independent version of the EMAS Command Line Interpreter. (The EMAS equivalent of a Unix shell; I can't remember all what it did different from the EMAS one; I think the main thing was that it had macro expansion and aliases). I did find some paper listings from my student days recently but haven't yet gone through them all. It may be in there. I don't personally have *anything* on magnetic media from when I was an undergrad at Edinburgh as it predates personal computers. It wasn't particular interesting; I'd rather we found the real thing.
