I remember finding Multics in an early ARPAnet host directory that listed special capabilities of each of the twenty or so sites on the network. I connected. I read about the architecture. I remember single-level store in particular and input canonicalization too. I wrote a pl/1 program that exploited both features, and an apl one too. This must have been '69 or so. I remember thinking the embryonic net had taken me somewhere strange and interesting. Tom's pages have a bit of that feel too. -- WardCunningham MulticsOs implementer, veteran of the Project MAC side of MIT and Honeywell's Multics group (among many other posts), and editor of http://multicians.org , the Multics-history site. ---- CategoryPerson
