In Efficient text editing on a PDP-10 we seek to answer the question
- How was it possible to efficiently edit files bigger than a megabyte on a PDP-10?
but we also touch on Emacs, and on the differences between ITS and WAITS.
But perhaps most interesting, we are offered in-browser experiences of the SAIL environment, courtesy of Bruce Guenther Baumgart:
- Enter System 1974 (“Re-Enactment of the 1974 Time Sharing System that was at the first Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory”)
Below are Entrances into Javascript running a PDP-10 time sharing system named SYSTEM . DMP [ J17, SYS ] which later became known as WAITS. Re-enacted are console teletype CTY, vector graphics Triple-III, raster terminal Data Disc DD, Lester’s Keyboard and the Ralph File System populated with executible files from www.SAILDART.org including GEOMED - LISP - SUDS - PARRY - PUB and TEX.
