Peter,
The Quick Reference Guide states (any mis-spellings are my own):
"The component of the IUP which provides the basic editing system
functions is named EDGAR."
Considering how old this card must be, I am amazed how "new" it looks.
All 18 panels of it.
I was not a VM person. I think I went to two classes on it. (this was
probably 30 years ago). My memory is iffy but IIRC there was a small
war between the competitors (EDGAR & the winner). I think I was told
that EDGAR didn't win because the(then old timers) didn't like it.
This is pre history I know but maybe some of the old time VMers can
really let us know the real story.
