Hello,

I have some ITS software to use the Datacomputer:

DFTP - Allows storage of files on the Datacomputer over the network
DCSTAT - Reports status of the CCA Datacomputer.

Too bad there's no Datacomputer. We can approximate the date of its
demise:

Date: 1 September 1980 18:46-EDT
From: Robert W. Kerns <RWK at MIT-MC>
Subject: The datacomputer is no more!
To: KEN at MIT-AI
cc: BUG-ITS at MIT-AI

The problem is really that the datacomputer was discontinued last March
or so.

It's not out of the question. Like the original, it should be running
in TENEX of course.

There was also client software for SAIL and Multics, amongst others.
