And much of the source code that Knuth mentions in his last slide is available online at the Computer History Museum: 1. Dijkstra’s T.H.E. operating system, the innovative compilers developed at Burroughs (Balgol 220), Computer Sciences Corporation (LARC Scientific Compiler) and Digitek (FORTRAN Compiler for the Daystrom 636; also class notes by Robert W. Floyd on the data structures used for Digitek’s FORTRAN IV compiler for the SDS 910-920-930-940) are all part of the Knuth Digital Archive project — listings and papers belonging to Don Knuth and scanned by Randall Neff: http://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/text/Knuth_Don_X4100/PDF_index/... 2. As Knuth mentions, Bill Atkinson’s MacPaint and QuickDraw source code are available at CHM: MacPaint and QuickDraw Source Code Len Shustek http://www.computerhistory.org/atchm/macpaint-and-quickdraw-source-code/ MacPaint oral history with Bill Atkinson and Andy Hertzfeld Grady Booch, interviewer http://www.computerhistory.org/collections/catalog/102658007 Paul McJones http://www.mcjones.org/dustydecks/ On May 30, 2014, at 10:11 PM, Len Shustek <len@shustek.com> wrote:
