User:Svinhufvud

About
Heavily exposed to the Nord-100 multi user environment in the years 1984-1987 and surrounded by a small crew of bullying mentors, the Svinhufvud alias soon started producing a few select pieces of software on the school Sintran/Nord-100 computer.

Some Software
The List-All-Files program is probably a colloborative effort, now posted here on the NDWiki site.

*

Talk-Reserve-Terminal locks up a free terminal and sends text to it.

*

Cove
The Cove multi user dungeon, written in MAC and using XMSG for terminal-terminal communications. Game texts and commands are all in swedish, as are most of the comments in the code.

* *

Build script.

*

Coming soon?
Cove data files. Cove editor (in Pascal). Possibly NordKOM - an old bbs style community thing.

Things not to do on a Sintran system

 * Don't ever, never rename user SYSTEM to anything else *not* beginning with the letters SYSTEM. Renaming to, for example, SYSTEMBOLAGET, is ok. Access control was performed on the user name, and without access you couldn't change the name back. A full system restore was needed since there no longer was a system user available. Oops.
