I've talked to the the Cyber support dude here (who also happens to know
a thing or two about emacs), and according to him, emacs should work
with the new C compiler from CDC.  Unfortunately, this new compiler is
priced around CDN$15000, so we have been unable to try it out.

Locally, we can get a display of all jobs running on the system (batch, system,
interactive, etc) by using the command display_all_jobs.  I guess this is a
local command?  We also have an InterNet finger server that does this
disaj command at a finger request (there isn't an /etc/passwd file that it
can read names from though, and this server won't show last login times).

NOS/VE has a lot of tricks up its sleeve, that casual users never know about,
eg. job scheduling.  We have our Cyber set up here to incrementally demote
a job's priority with increasing continual CPU usage.  Helps keep things
moving when there's a lot of jobs going.  The virtual DAS is very nice too.

We're going to be getting a Cyber 2000 soon, and our Cyber guru can't wait
to install X windows on it to give it a go.
