Re: Is this Dr Frank I've been hearing about?

Hi Keith,

Hi Larry,
Thanks for the info.  I assume you're quoting from his book.

You got me there. :-)

To be clear, I was not attacking Dr Frank, only commenting on SLS
itself.  The Atlas sounds like it's worth further reading.

Didn't think for a minute that you was. I was confirming your assertion that 
the origins of SLS go back further than S/38. I just thought it was worth 
noting the Atlas computer as the implementation that inspired Dr Frank - 
which may not necessarily have been the first. But I'm British and come from 
Liverpool in the north west of England so I like the idea of SLS originating 
only a few miles from my home town - even if it is Manchester. <grin>

MULTICS looks pretty interesting too. I'm reading the wiki at the moment: 
All good stuff...

(I'll shut up now before David shouts)

Cheers
