That's great! I'm in the process of restoring a PDP-11/34a... Right now, it has a whopping 16K!

Is there any way to use date with previous dates such as "2 23 2000" in order to see what day of the week it was? I tried changing the current date to "date 022300452000"
but then it told me that I could not do this because I was "Not the owner". Any other ways of getting the day result? (2 Replies)

Hello - I have a folder that contains files from 2003 till 2010. I am trying to figure out a command that would seperate each years file and show me a count?
Even if i can find a command that would give me year by year count, thats good enough too.
Thanks (8 Replies)

MEM(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual MEM(4)
NAME
mem, kmem - main memory
SYNOPSIS
major device number(s):
raw: 1
minor device encoding:
mem: 0; kmem: 1; null: 2
DESCRIPTION
Mem is a special file that is an image of the main memory of the computer. It may be used, for example, to examine (and even to patch) the
system.
Byte addresses in mem are interpreted as physical memory addresses. References to non-existent locations cause errors to be returned.
The file kmem is the same as mem except that kernel virtual memory rather than physical memory is accessed. Only kernel virtual addresses
that are mapped to memory are allowed. Examining and patching device registers is likely to lead to unexpected results when read-only or
write-only bits are present.
On PDP-11s, the I/O page begins at location 0160000 of kmem and the per-process data segment for the current process begins at 0140000 and
is USIZE clicks (64 bytes each) long.
FILES
/dev/mem
/dev/kmem
/dev/MAKEDEV script to create special files
/dev/MAKEDEV.local script to localize special files
BUGS
On PDP-11's, specifying an odd kernel or user address, or an odd transfer count is [generally] slower than using all even parameters.
On machines with ENABLE/34(tm) memory mapping boards the I/O page can be accessed only through kmem.
