I've posted a review of Doug Englebart's 1968 NLS video
at:
http://www.treelight.com/software/NLS_video.html
If you've been wondering what NLS/Augment was all about,
the review is a fairly good place to strat. We can also
mine it for requirements. In particular, there are features
of NLS that we *don't* plan to implement anytime soon, and
we need to be clear about that. (It is interesting, I
think, that a system constructed in 1968 has features that
will be too difficult to implement for a while yet...)
Note:
After we clean it up, we should consider getting it
published as an article. At the very least, it can
live at the bootstrap site as a review of the very
first system...
If someone can extract some pictures from the video,
I can include them in the article.
Pictures needed:
--control console
--video cameras and CRTs
--young Englebart
--young Rulifson (hee hee)
--sequence of 2 oe 3 "concept map" diagrams
--screen with inline video (and name of who it was)
