Things Every Hacker Once Knew: 1.11

The newest version of Things Every Hacker Once Knew is only a minor update.


There’s material on SIGHUP; six-bit characters on 36-bit machines; a correction that XMODEM required 8 bits; and why screensavers are called that.


New submissions are ramping down; I don’t expect to need to issue another update of this for some time.
