Richard,

Thanks to David Cutler (the David Cutler of DNC fame; most of the RSX
source code is
littered with DNC in columns 72-74 if you knew source code control of
the 1970's).

David wrote M-plus over a weekend, when his boss refused to provide budget
to do it on DEC's nickel.

that was a huge boost for the life of 11/70's, 11/44s, and 11/84's, which had
room for megabytes of memory.

Who remembers the Task Builder?

Carl
