It was fat finger memory. it was X10R3 or something similar, which I had previously used in UCL on Ultrix machines in the 80s. I don't think it was R5, I don't think much got upgraded in that space but .. it was a long time ago.

This was a SECOND HAND cray. It was a tax contra made in the 90s when Boeing sold a lot of stuff to the Australian Defence forces, and to avoid a massive tax burden donated science trash to the uni.
