       @foone @fatedfox @hannah I come look for it every six months or so, but no luck yet.There is a fairly detailed manual for librarians and sysadmins up on Anna's Archive:https://annas-archive.org/md5/f59cfb1ca749929d3b294f6af6ede55cIt contains a lot of information I haven't seen anywhere else like OS/hardware requirements and database structure.The company is still around. There must be some dusty shelf somewhere with a copy of the old software.

       @foone @fatedfox @hannah Wow, that's amazing news! I follow your toots but I hope you'll CC me if you are able to get Dynix preserved online. I would love to play around with it.Of course Dynix wouldn't be good for much these days. I'm sad I couldn't use it as a real catalogue just because MARC has moved on so much since then and it would have no Unicode support, but still, how cool would it be to play with.

       @overholt Technical and information literacy are easy to take for granted but we have to keep reminding ourselves are not as common as we think. It's frustrating and bewildering and haunting, but we have to do it to help patrons.I used to be a computer programmer. It was so easy to get in a tech bubble and expect others to know the basics, but most people couldn't tell you what a web browser is. I know people who get to their email by going to Google and searching for "yahoo mail".
