SUDS #4

Closed larsbrinkhoff closed 6 years ago

larsbrinkhoff commented 6 years ago

CAD system from Stanford. Originally made by the AI lab.

Not sure it it's a TENEX thing. Maybe WAITS. But it seems to have been widely ported to DEC-10 and 20 systems.

larsbrinkhoff commented 6 years ago

I don't see much on saildart.org at this point, but it looks like there could be more in the future.

rmaldersoniii commented 6 years ago

SUDS was not a TENEX thing. It originated under WAITS, as part of the SuperFOONLY project, SAIL's response to DEC's sloth in building a better PDP-10. Two things came directly out of this effort, the Foonly company and the DECSYSTEM-20.

larsbrinkhoff commented 6 years ago

Maybe I should explain that I opened this issue as a reminder to @b4 to check for signs of SUDS anywhere.

b4 commented 6 years ago

Seeing email references to it in the SUMEX archives, but not anything approaching sources.

I'll certainly need to look elsewhere for that.

You've checked SRI-NIC and the SRI-ARC DECUSLIB bits, right?

larsbrinkhoff commented 6 years ago

Not for SUDS specifially. But I will. I just stumbled across the SRI-ARC files yesterday.

@b4, here are some directory and file names to look out for:

DRAW, DATDRW, PC, DIPS, SIGSUB, SCNV, LAY, WLDEFS.

No results except for the last one which brings up personal directories.

Thanks!

I'll close this now, because it's not related to TENEX.
