- Yes, the name DIKU is the name of the machine where the original DIKU creators
- worked from (Katja Nyboe and the gang....look at the login screen on any diku
- and you should see all of their names...type "help credits" or "credits" and
- you should see a listing of all of their adresses...all of which or on the
- DIKU machine in denmark i think).
