My PDP-8 is available all the time. http://www.pdp8online.com/run. shtml Alas the interface is Java which has gone from the hot new thing when I originally did it to obsolete in browsers. Will have to figure out how to redo it when I get time.
Just curious, what is the issue?

???oh I remember yours Dave But didn't you mean javascript I noticed this doesn't work anymore on Chrome ver.45 and later But other browsers still do I think having a Java app instead would be ideal, it's still cross platform, and no need for browsers Dan
Its a Java browser app, not javascript. The problem is due to the security issues with java browsers are making it harder and harder to run java in the browser and many people don't have the plugin installed. At some point only signed apps are going to be supported. If it wasn't dying in the browser I could purchase yearly the code signing cert.
​might I suggest another flavor of Java, it's called Processing​,
I didn't know that was a superset of Java but the issue still remains. Most browser are blocking any Java (that means the JVM) so you can't even run Processing. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies
