1974, CERN made a report of its TSO/CMS comparison (bake-off) available at SHARE. The copies available inside the corporation were classified "CONFIDENTIAL - Restricted" (2nd highest corporate security classification, available on need-to-know only) ... in attempt to limit the number of corporate employees that had access to the report (they couldn't do much about SHARE members that had access to the report). a couple references to HTML was evolution of SGML (& CMS SCRIPT clone from waterloo): http://infomesh.net/html/history/early http://ref.web.cern.ch/ref/CERN/CNL/2001/001/tp_history/Pr/ GML was invented at the science center in 1969 ... CMS SCRIPT started out as port of document formating RUNOFF from CTSS (using dot/"." formating commands). Then GML tag support was added to CMS SCRIPT: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#sgml discussion of the early Stanford vm/cms web server: http://www.slac.stanford.edu/history/earlyweb/history.shtml above discusses using vm/cms webserver to access SPIRES, current (web) SPIRES) http://www.slac.stanford.edu/spires/ SPIRES wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_Physics_Information_Retrieval_System misc. past posts mention TSO/CMS bake-off report: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2001f.html#49 any 70's era supercomputers that ran as slow as today's supercompu http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2001i.html#30 IBM OS Timeline? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2001m.html#19 3270 protocol http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2002h.html#14 Why did OSI fail compared with TCP-IP? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2002h.html#51 Why did OSI fail compared with TCP-IP? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2002j.html#64 vm marketing (cross post) http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2002n.html#54 SHARE MVT Project anniversary http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2002o.html#54 XML, AI, Cyc, psych, and literature http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2003c.html#53 HASP assembly: What the heck is an MVT ABEND 422? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2003c.html#69 OT: One for the historians - 360/91 http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2003h.html#19 Why did TCP become popular ? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2003k.html#13 What is timesharing, anyway? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2003o.html#16 When nerds were nerds http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2004c.html#10 XDS Sigma vs IBM 370 was Re: I/O Selectric on eBay: How to use? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2004c.html#26 Moribund TSO/E http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2005s.html#26 IEH/IEB/... names? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006d.html#35 Fw: Tax chooses dead language - Austalia http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006d.html#38 Fw: Tax chooses dead language - Austalia http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006k.html#34 PDP-1 http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006n.html#3 Not Your Dad's Mainframe: Little Iron http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006v.html#23 Ranking of non-IBM mainframe builders? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007d.html#29 old tapes http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007d.html#40 old tapes http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007t.html#40 Why isn't OMVS command integrated with ISPF? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2008b.html#65 How does ATTACH pass address of ECB to child? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2008j.html#89 CLIs and GUIs -- 42yrs virtualization experience (since Jan68), online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
