OK, Erich has reminded me just how much AIX sucks. I remember IBM tar. Not fondly.

Yes. School. They do have emacs, even if it’s a few versions back.

I have often thought your achievement merited the Wrecking Crew Nerd of the Century Award. As I recall you performed said feat from userland.

I hope you saved a copy of that makefile.

Oh yeah? Check this shit out:

node3: /home/etn8m $ mysql –version
mysql Ver 11.18 Distrib 3.23.54, for ibm-aix4.3.2.0 (powerpc)

I can’t even figure out how to use tar on this machine; it doesn’t support flags like -z.

Speaking of which, one of these days I’ll post about getting Nethack to compile in AIX–far and away my greatest accomplishment in graduate school.

School?

At least it’s not AIX.
