Talk:Multics

Conditions

I have this idea was the first OS to make extensive use of conditions inside the OS (something that even today I suspect not many do). This needs to be verified, and can then be added. Jnc (talk) 15:21, 6 October 2017 (CEST)

Multics BCPL

Interesting; the Multics BCPL note spells Multics as "MULTICS". ISTR that either Jerry (possibly) or Corby (likely) insisted that it was not a acronym, and thus was not all upper-case. And most original documentation does spell it that way.

(Sorry I get so wound up about case, etc; I've always been that way a bit, and then the AP decided that 'Internet' should be spelled 'internet', ignoring the fact that 'internet' was an existing (older) word with a slightly different meaning. I've never recovered.) Jnc (talk) 20:22, 11 June 2023 (CEST)

Agreed, that one in particular stands out. Otherwise Multics is rather consistently capitalized. With regards to your passion: go for it, run with the wind! Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 07:04, 12 June 2023 (CEST)
