What do DUKE and PANDORA do?
DUKE is the Prestel Updating centre.
All frame editing is carried out here:
each edited frame is then sent out to
all 8 IRCs (Austen, Bronte, Dickens,
Dryden, Eliot, Enterprise, Keats and
Kipling)
PANDORA is the Messaging centre.
It is responsible for routeing response
frames and mailbox messages between the
IRCs, and Duke. (Hence "Pandora's Box")
If Pandora is overloaded, or out of
action, the first thing you will notice
is that Mailbox stops working. You will
still be able to send response frames,
as the IRC will store the message until
the fault is cleared.
