E. Faeh · 1973
This purpose of this RFC is to announce the availability of the Data Reconfiguration Service (DRS) at UCSB, and to describe the use of the DRS Time Sharing System.The DRS is an experiment in a flexible means for reformatting Network data streams.The DRS provides a means for coupling processes with different input/output interfaces, and carrying out user specified transformations on the data passing between them.Samples of representative uses of the DRS include field insertion, field deletion, variable length string processing, string length computation, field transposition, character packing and unpacking, and character set translations.
