       I've been building a text-terminal interface for Koha:https://github.com/philpem/koha-opac-tuiIt's based on screenshots and photos I found of the Dynix user interface, with some elements of BLCMP I remember, and a couple of features (like MARC view) I wanted.Please try it, thrash it, and report any bugs you find!(ObFD: it was created with AI; I'm planning some rework because the code is quite meh in places)

       My goal with this is to use the BLCMP and Dynix user interfaces as inspiration for something similar but new.I'd also like to see screenshots, printouts and photos of BLCMP, Dynix, and other systems (I believe there's a Lockheed Information Systems one which I can't find hide nor hair of)

       @foone thanks! I found some others in "Dynix: A guide for librarians and systems managers" though they've been re-typeset. That series also has books on GEAC, BLCMP, SWALCAP and URICA. The URICA and SWALCAP ones have actual screenshots.It's surprising (to me) how many were based on PICK and UniVerse, though I guess it makes sense if you're building a database.

       @philpem I've got a copy of that, heh. I didn't suggest it because I couldn't find a place to view it without paying.

       @foone IA had it for a while and still has most of the other books (not Dynix, the others) in controlled digital lending. Anna's Archive archived the Dynix one while it was still up.

       @philpem ahh, nice. also now that you mention it I do remember borrowing it on the archive at some previous point, so they must have adjusted the sharing at some point
