[SIGCIS-Members] 50th anniversary of CTSS

[Dave Walden]

In the spring of fifty years ago this year, work started on MIT's 
highly influential Compatible Time Sharing System.  The system then 
was first demonstrated in November of that year.

Some of you may be interested in a CTSS commemorative document that a 
couple of us of recently compiled; see item #5 at
     <http://www.computer.org/portal/web/volunteercenter/history>http://www.computer.org/portal/web/volunteercenter/history 


This commemorative document is intended to be popular overview of the 
history of CTSS, not a scholarly report.  We may put out an update 
with new information we receive post initial publication.  (We 
certainly will update the PDF to fix any typos that anyone 
spots.)  If you have any comments on this document, perhaps send them 
off list to my email address below so other list members don't have 
to see messages in which they are not interested.

Sincerely, Dave Walden
