That's nothing, I still use VECCE on a daily basis (VMS), and even ECCE too sometimes (Solaris)! (I did once have a PC version, but really prefer EMACS to ECCE for most PC editing.) Here is a question when might appeal to the group - I am writing a paper on my companies Automation techniques for the USA, and I was going to mention the programming language used - Imp! What do people think is the best reference to give for it? My thoughts are to use Peter Robertson's EUCSD report from 1979. There was also a Lattice Logic edition of the same document from the early 1980s, but I think the University one is probably the better reference. Any other ideas? I think using a later reference is better than any of the EMAP projects from the late 60's early 70's! best regards Gordon Hughes %end %of %file [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: edinburgh-computer-history-unsubscribe@egroups.com Your use of Yahoo!
