re: http://manana.garlic.com/~lynn/2016d.html#96 Multithreaded output to stderr and stdout http://manana.garlic.com/~lynn/2016d.html#100 Multithreaded output to stderr and stdout specifically said that CAS Charlie was later IBM associate director at MIT Project Athena ... and provided MIT Project Athena URL references. of course there are lots of other Charlies in the world (even at IBM), which is true regardless of how I might have answered the request. other trivia ... first ran into Charlie in the late 60s when Univ. set me to CP67 conference in silicon valley. There were a number of silicon valley area custmers at the time that had gotten 360/67s Charlie was IBM SE on the Lockheed (MOL, manned orbital laboratory) program which had gotten a triplex 360/67 ... which had some enhancements somewhat analogous to the 360/65s for the FAA air traffic control program. On standard multiprocessor 360/67 the configuration controller switch settings were available from the control registers (see detailed information in 360/67 functional characteristics at bitsavers also shown in 360/67 "blue card"). For the Lockheed MOL triplex 360/67 it was also possible to make configuration changes by loading different values in the control registers. At the time, there was also a silicon chip company running cp/67 on 360/67 and Navy Postgraduate school (in Monterey) was running cp/67 on 360/67. other trivia ... before ms/dos http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS-DOS there was seattle computer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_Computer_Products before seattle computer there was CP/M, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CP/M before developing CP/M, kildall worked with CP67 at npg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_Postgraduate_School -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
