Waaaaiiting for the C compiler to install on my VAX emulation. For whatever reason, installations always take forever on there. Maybe because they use @VMSINSTAL rather than PCSI. Or not.
Anyway, the idea was to get access to a purely VAX form of the C compiler, rather than the Alpha version. The Alpha version supposedly has a VAX C compatibility mode, but I don't trust it. Since I have the real thing and can run it, might as well go ahead and put it online.
Doesn't feel like vacation yet. Probably won't until Monday morning when I don't have to go to work. But we did some non-standard pootling around today that helps. Went and had breakfast in Crystal Lake, then shopping at several stores. This is something we used to do years ago, but haven't much in recent times.
One place we stopped was Joseph's Market, a really good produce place that also has lots of imported foods and a huge deli counter. We were restrained there and just bought produce.
OK, good. It installed, it works. Time for bed.
