  • Oral History Interview with John Brackett and Doug Ross
    An Interview with JOHN BRACKETT AND DOUG ROSS OH 392 Conducted by Mike Mahoney on 7 May 2004 Needham, Massachusetts Charles Babbage Institute Center for the History of Information Processing University of Minnesota, Minneapolis Copyright, Charles Babbage Institute John Brackett and Doug Ross Interview 7 May 2004 Oral History 392 Abstract Doug Ross and John Brackett focus on the background of SofTech and then its entry into the microcomputer software marketplace. They describe their original contact with the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) and licensing the p-System which had been developed there. They discuss the effort required to bring the program to production status and the difficulties in marketing it to the sets of customers. They talk about the transition from 8 bit to 16 bit machines and how that affected their market opportunities. They conclude with a review of the negotiations with IBM and their failure to get p-System to become a primary operating environment. That, and the high performance of Lotus 1-2-3, brought about the demise of the p- System. [John Brackett requested that the following information from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, be provided as an introduction to this oral history interview: “UCSD p-System or UCSD Pascal System was a portable, highly machine independent operating system based upon UCSD Pascal. The University of California, San Diego Institute for Information Systems developed it in 1978 to provide students with a common operating system that could run on any of the then available microcomputers as well as campus DEC PDP-11 minicomputers. UCSD p- System was one of three operating systems (along with PC-DOS and CP/M-86) that IBM offered for its original IBM PC.

    PPAASSCCAALL -- QQUUIICCKK GGUUIIDDEE http://www.tutorialspoint.com/pascal/pascal_quick_guide.htm Copyright © tutorialspoint.com PPAASSCCAALL -- OOVVEERRVVIIEEWW Pascal is a general-purpose, high-level language that was originally developed by Niklaus Wirth in the early 1970s. It was developed for teaching programming as a systematic discipline and to develop reliable and efficient programs. Pascal is Algol-based language and includes many constructs of Algol. Algol 60 is a subset of Pascal. Pascal offers several data types and programming structures. It is easy to understand and maintain the Pascal programs. Pascal has grown in popularity in the teaching and academics arena for various reasons: Easy to learn. Structured language. It produces transparent, efficient and reliable programs. It can be compiled on a variety of computer platforms. Features of the Pascal Language Pascal has the following features − Pascal is a strongly typed language. It offers extensive error checking. It offers several data types like arrays, records, files and sets. It offers a variety of programming structures. It supports structured programming through functions and procedures. It supports object oriented programming. Facts about Pascal The Pascal language was named for Blaise Pascal, French mathematician and pioneer in computer development. Niklaus Wirth completed development of the original Pascal programming language in 1970. Pascal is based on the block structured style of the Algol programming language. Pascal was developed as a language suitable for teaching programming as a systematic discipline, whose implementations could be both reliable and efficient. The ISO 7185 Pascal Standard was originally published in 1983. Pascal was the primary high-level language used for development in the Apple Lisa, and in the early years of the Mac.
