Visitor Log: Ian H. Walle nder, Sr . Vice Presidell~, Technical Director, nEST DATA CORPORATION , 1285 Forgewood Avenue, Sunnyvale , Cal t~ornia 9 4086, (408) 734-1233 anrl John F. Cogger, Mana~er Computer Systems, COMARCO inc, p. O. Box 51R , Port Hueneme, Cali:fornia 9 3041, (805) 488-3621; esco rted by Ted Brain of the Ar1:1:tic1al [ntelll ,@e nce Center.
Ted Brain 1s a director o~ DEST DATA CORPORATION. Malender was along as an intermediary and did not particIpate much. The real visitor was Cogg er.
According to Brain, Cogger's company has a contract to republish all the NAVY's manuals, about a million pages, of which they have ground out about 20,000.
My notlon of their system Is a little ~oggy and probably quite inaccurate in places, but here goes!
"hey have 0. H-P 2000C (ra1:her smal 1 by our standards) wi th 5 0,000,000 bi1:s o"'f disc storag e and a very larg e volume o£

They have order~d a H-P 3000 (l2607,).
The H-P is supporting about 30 1.1ne-by-llne CRT terminals.
Ahou1: 20 01 tbem are runnIng at 30 characters per second 'for input and about 10 at 300 characters :for editing .
They are using 0. H-P time-sharin g system, but all the other so~tware was written by Cogge r and As soc iates (it is a small company) in RASIC.
Girls at typewriters are creatin g: what he calted semi-random .fj les. They have a h.ierarchIcal structure which in :tact rath er resembles that o"'f NLS ~rom the outside anyway. Each file is divided into chapters, sections, parag raphs, and sentences. The -:tile header contains pointers by WhIch you can wo rk down 1:0 any sen1:ence as 1 n NLS :ti les. The Ilsen tences ll as ( understand 11: are themselves records o£ fixed leng th (wh en a real sentence exceeds the len g th ot a reco rd, a pointer takes you to another IIsentence ll ).
The whole stuck 0" manuals share a 1orlllat. 'When the s irl ty pes in the manual , she adds information about the format cateq ory 01 the record she is creating . ThIs In~ormation
cate g orizes the record. It does not determine its appearance on a pr inted page. Some one can later set the file header so

that all records o~ a cer tain categ ory wiLL be p rinted in a ce rtal n .. ay.
They have an e nviable system for handlIn g tabular material. The person typing it in does not even need to act tabs.
They cannot handle g raphJcs and g raph ics are a d ded at the offset printin g stage as we are planning with DD S I . They can l eave proper s p aces ~or the a ro.phics.
Out 01 thp processln!' emerg es a data string wh Ich g oes ( [ think as tapes) to an optical co ld typesettIng system. The system Is s low (their present system takes 5 minutes on a page ; they are get tin~ one soon _hlch does a page a a lnute) and limjt~ d In type ~onts. B~t the page look s s nod . It is of

the
The NAVY" has asked hi. to p r oduce a keyword index, and he has no way ot doln& it~
1 gav e him an overview ot our catalog ue p roducing system, steppin g throu ~h ~rom a citatJon ~l~e to an Index.
He also sugges ted that it mIght be easy tor him to p rint 8 tape 0.' th e type we produce tor DDS l. 1 t wasn ' t clear to me that this was the case , but [ sold I would d i scuss it _Jth Walter who was tied u p .
He is a lIvely, 'ntellJ ge n" , practical.. eotreprenurial.. g uy. He was very interested to ~ee our sy s tem . He was sophisticated about some thl n RS in our wo rld, but not about others . E . &., he kne w a g reat dea l about u se 01 computers in publlca"ion and, from where 1 sa t , about ~lle tr a n9~er; but had only thp sketchiest notion ot the ARPANET .
He invited me to CONe "0 s ee the o~eration in Oxna r d . As a mat~er ot £act, r think Lt Ni g ht be useful, and I think it mi g ht be even more useful ~or Walter and pe rhaps Diane Kaye t o see It; [ wIll sug gest It to them.

EKN 6 - DEC-72 8:36 13141 CALCU I.ATO R : Phase 1 Specl~Lca~io"s
BACKGROUND
This document was prepared hy the ARC NLS caLcuLator design
revIew committee, composed o£ Charles lrby (CHI), Diane Kaye (DSK) , Elizabeth V ichae l (BKlI) , Jim No r ton (JCN) , and Dirk van
Nouhuys ( DVN) . 10.
The ~irgt sta~e o~ the Dew NLS Calculator is now beIng designec1 . This wIll 1"e-l09'to.te many ot the l'eaturcB available to users at the XDS 94 0 version oJ: thp CaLculator while addin g new :features made possi bie by J'ecen t system deve Lopmcn t8 such
as splIt sc r een mechanisms .
The 940 ve r si on had two primary operatl n g modes: regular desk
calcula-tor mode (add , 9uJltract , multiply , and divIde) and
lh
functIon mode (with named variables , ~tc ). Ie
Jus1. be:tor e tbe 940 was to be repl aced by I he PIlP- to, sOnle ef:fort was de v oted toward rewriting "the Ca lculator in LiO nnd making .. any L10- ll.ke procedures available to "the user so that he wouln ha v e an alaehraic lang uag e with which to make more co~plex in t eractive mathematical models . let
This version was ne v er impl~mented on the PDP-tO . The
stra1 cRY o.f th£' cu r rent desl liJ n has been to 1ake as !Duny
use~ul features as possible fro~ prior work while adding
those new t'ea-t"ures t hat prov i de additional u sefulness and power . 1cla

Packet Radio Neeting of December 12-13 , 1972
13152
A ",eet Ing was heLd at Stanford Research fnstl "tute on 12-13 Dece$ber to discuss the subject of packet radio communication and its appl ication to local distribution of data in urban and rural environments, o:fflces, etc. RepresentatIves trom ARPA, NAC, SRJ, UCLA, Coltins Radio, Xerox PARe, and UnIversIty of HawaII were in attendance. A vari ety 01' subjects were discussed and nUlllcrous Questions were raised concerning tbe following:
~ P roperties o~ frequency bands - nOise/LOS/power Captu re phenomena
• •
•
Spreud-spec trum teChniques Power sou rces Slot synchronlza~ion Repeaters riand-of..t techn Lquee Reservations
• Yodu~ation schemes Nu~tistatlon Inter~erence
• Technical and cost comparisons
• •
Debu~ging and maintenance considerations Pe 'rsonal termiuals (handheld)
A The folLowing no~atlonal conventions were i nitJal ly adop~ed .
terminal Is to be Identified as a packet radio terminal or PRT. PRT's are In commu.nication with one or mo r e Packet RadIo Sta tions (PRS tor short). Terminals suftLclen~ly dlstant from a statIon may require the assistance at one or more Packet Radio Repeaters (PRR ) to relay data to ~he PRS. The PRS in turn transmits data to the termjna~ directly~ It possible, or via PRR's i~ distance warrants. The station is also able to Interface dIrectly to other networks. For simplIcIty In notation, each statio n can be denOTed by an S, e~ch repeater by an R, and each t ermina l by a T.

Background, tutori al , ne. technical work, and adm ini s trative messa g es should be distr i bUTed via PR notes; SRI will assign the~ numbers , keep records, and d lstribute the in~ormation as pa rt o~ ~helr standard NrC service. (Nore inIormation will lollow on this.) These PR notes are intended to be t emporary wo r k ing notes -- to have a s hort active li~et!me a£ter which they will "disapp ear" 1 rom tbe ~lle9.
