John Alderman, Applied Data Research, Atlanta, Georgia
The Foreground/ Background/8 Now system is now in opera-
tion. The Disk/DECtape monitor is used as a background
program, and there is a successful emulation of the interrupt
system for the background user. Most of the standard software
will run in the background mode unchanged, (e.g. FOCAL,
EDIT, PAL-D). The Executive is transparent to the casual
user who thinks that he has a 4K PDP-8 with single DF-32
Disk, and high speed paper tape.
