Job Control Language. IBM's excuse for an OS interface
for a long time. Folklore says it was actually written
by the hardware team to test the beast, but the real
software product was so late it was finally quietly
dropped.
As far as PIP... wrote one in RPG II for an IBM System/3 oncet :).
"Dec system 10" (i.e., TOPS-10 and its predecessors) certainly
had it, but PIP was also standard on RSX-11 and probably most of
the other PDP-11 OSes (RT-11, ...) and I expect they long predate
the PDP-10 hardware/software linage.
This threadlet prolly belongs on alt.folklore.computers, however. :)
I'll just note that the DEC machines were called PDP originally
because DEC wanted to avoid calling their little lab boxes
"computers" for fear of scaring away customers. Honest, folks,
these are just leetle friendly programmable data processors,
nothing whatever to do with those giant Electronic Brains in
the movies! Shades of things to come! :) :) :)
[ Background note: I find the traffic on this list excessive for
my available time; I wind up skipping most of it. Not a complaint,
just an observation. I also find the combat-oriented stuff
irrelevant to my interests: I'm more interested in cooperatively
attacking real problems than synthesizing artificial problems.
Again, just an observation, not a complaint. But if this list
were to bifurcate into combat-systems and server-systems lists,
I'd be significantly more likely to contribute to the latter.
BTW, I have a thick sheaf of R-Tree papers bequeathed me by a
friend who did his PhD in the area, if anyone gets seriously
interested in them... ]
