cms script was done at the science center in the mid-60s as port from MIT's CTSS RUNOFF. some past posts mentioning science center http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#545tech GML was invented at the science center in 1969 (letters chosen because they are first letter of last name of the inventors) and gml tag processing support added to cms script. past posts mentioning gml/sgml http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/submain.html#sgml one of the earliest standard documents moved to cms script was principles of operation. there was something called the architecture "redbook" (because it was distributed in red 3-ring binders). principles of operation was a subset of the architecture "redbook" ... using cms script command-line options, either the full redbook was produced or just the principles of operation subset. after a decade, gml morphs into iso standard sgml http://www.sgmlsource.com/history/roots.htm after another decade, sgml morphs into html at cern http://infomesh.net/html/history/early -- 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
