... and (cp67/cms) SCRIPT was written in 360 assembler ... which doesn't make the dot commands a superset of 360 assembler. script dot commands came from ctss runoff written in MAD ... and script source had some number of (360 assembler) "MAD" macros (mostly likely from the runoff/MAD heritage ... not because they are the 1st three letters of the author's last name). a couple recent posts in thread mentioning runoff: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2010k.html#48 GML http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2010k.html#55 GML Some old CTSS RUNOFF reference: http://web.mit.edu/Saltzer/www/publications/CC-244.html http://web.mit.edu/Saltzer/www/publications/PSN-40.html SGML is iso standardization of GML invented at the science center in 1969 by "G", "M", & "L". some GML/SGML history http://www.sgmlsource.com/history/roots.htm http://www.sgmlsource.com/history/jasis.htm waterloo script was derived from NSCRIPT taken from the share program library ... which was a port of cp67/cms SCRIPT to TSO. a couple recent posts mentioning waterloo script: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2010k.html#48 GML http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2010k.html#49 GML http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2010k.html#55 GML Waterloo SCRIPT: http://csg.uwaterloo.ca/sdtp/watscr.html from above: Waterloo SCRIPT is a rewritten and extended version of a processor called NSCRIPT that had been converted to OS and TSO from CP-67/CMS SCRIPT. The original NSCRIPT package is available from the SHARE Program Library. Waterloo obtained NSCRIPT in late 1974 as a viable alternative to extending ATS to meet local requirements. The local acceptance of Waterloo SCRIPT has continued to provide the motivation for additional on-going development. ... snip ...
