I cut my teeth on assembler language on the Univac 418. Two zeroes, plus and minus. No wonder the Thrasher was lost, it was used as the onboard computer!

Dang Al... Some of those I was actually trying to forget... ;) About the only one you mentioned that I didn't learn to program in was RPG, but your 'Ugh!' gives me hope that it might be good for my sanity that I missed that one... lol
Hmm.. Basic, GW-Basic, MS-Basic, and how many others ??? C, C+, C++, and I seem to remember more nightmarish variants. And I lost ALL those reference/coding books in the fire... :'( (all my radios, computers, tools too - very sad about that) (even my first CoCo and Silver RS Model-1 Level-2) (the Drakes, Hammarlunds, Moto's, TMC's, Swans, Cleggs, and MSR's) Just getting back into the hobby with these Baofengs. Have my eye on the Baofeng 5001 for the BlackRAM.
Does anyone know how to convert Hex' to Binary any more ? Hi Hi on the years. The PDP-11 in the early 80's and the IBM-360 in the mid 70's.
I saw mention of papertape and punchcards in another post. I can hardly wait to read that one, and FSM it. (FSM = Fold, Spindle, Mutilate) Did punchtape in military as RTTY Op on Angry26Delta. ROTFLMFAO Thanks!
And YES! I'm getting to be an ol' fart.
73 4 now!

Laughing at you Bruce., from your list of programming languages, that should date you date about my 70ish (or so). My list looks like: ASM, APL, BASIC (of way too many varieties to count), C, COBOL, FORTRAN, RPG (ugh!), and I'm sure others ... sure would be nice is things were as simple as they were in the old day .... << smile >> //al ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *From:*chirp_users-bounces@intrepid.danplanet.com [mailto:chirp_users-bounces@intrepid.danplanet.com] *On Behalf Of *Bruce LeGrande *Sent:* Saturday, August 6, 2016 15:17 *To:* Chirp-Users List *Subject:* Re: [chirp_users] Updating Chirp for the UV-82HP And I thought v0.4.0 was ancient... lol I am still receiving the SAME error with v0.4.1 I have downloaded chirp-daily-20160802.tar.gz Sitting in '~/.install' directory Next step please ? <===== I can't believe this seems like so much of a process. I've set up Cat-5 Ether and wireless networks from Slack v3.2 on up to v7, written and compiled source on various distros, without major problems. Coded in ASM, Fortran, Pascal, CoBOL, BASIC, and others. Can't understand why this isn't flowing better... But at this point I'm not assuming ANYthing... I'm going to ASK, even is sounds like a silly question. After the download, what is the next step ?

I guess I left out the most important fact responsible for the error message, which is the OS on the NetBook is Debian Squeeze v6, to which doing a major update to is not an option. Have tried installing the latest version of Chirp under that, but there are just too many errors in compile making that not feasible. And since there is no .Deb distribution package available, compiling source is the only option. That was my main reason for becoming interes ted in a LiveBoot application on a USB stick, to bypass all that hassle. I have managed to create the Ubuntu based TharPuppy stick to boot from, so now perhaps I'll be able to install the latest version of Chirp for Ubuntu. And the problem would be solved... I was thinking that if someone here had built a RAM boot/run image specifically for (with) Chirp, it might save me some time. Shame on me for wanting to save time, and not duplicate efforts done by another already... I'll just schlog along on my own and see how things turn out. _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com <mailto:chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com> http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to Bob Nielsen at n7xy@n7xy.net <mailto:n7xy@n7xy.net> To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscribe@intrepid.danplanet.com <mailto:chirp_users-unsubscribe@intrepid.danplanet.com>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to kb6lwn@gmail.com at kb6lwn@gmail.com To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscribe@intrepid.danplanet.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to kb6lwn@gmail.com at kb6lwn@gmail.com To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscribe@intrepid.danplanet.com
