Talk:Incompatible Timesharing System

message: What does that mean?  The AI Lab was /part of/ Project MAC!  But I'm not aware of any significant technical participation in ITS development by any MAC people outside of the AI Lab.
: Whether or not the AI Lab was part of MAC/LCSdepends on the date (or did MAC split into AI and LCS - I forget). But certainly some very influential ITS people - e.g. Dave Moon - were LCS employees, not of the AI Lab. Noel (talk) 15:46, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

message: The article claims: GNU‘s info help system was originally an EMACS subsystem.  EMACS was created in 1976, but backup records show that INFO existed as early as 1971. Lars Brinkhoff (talk) 19:38, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: INFO was definitely developed as an EMACS subsystem. There are old directories named "INFO" and ".INFO." in the bsckups, but they just contained files that were informative.QuasiQuote (talk) 22:48, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm not referring to the INFO or .INFO. directories, but to the executable program TS INFO.  TS INFO timestamps predate EMACS by some years. Lars Brinkhoff (talk) 09:24, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

text:  I examined the source code of INFO 35 from 1971. It's some kind of info system, but it's definitely not the later hyperlink system which was reimplemented as GNU info. Lars Brinkhoff (talk) 10:47, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

text:  I remember RMS showing me the brand-new INFO system he had implemented.  It was a new EMACS package.  I would guess this was sometime in 1977. Alan Bawden (talk) 22:19, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  I searched MIT backup tapes for the first INFO files.  The earliest I found was from February 1977. Lars Brinkhoff (talk) 08:16, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

message: Does an ITS simulator exist anywhere, or is there any other way to access a live ITS setup?  Reify-tech (talk) 19:41, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello .  There are several PDP-10 emulator capable of running ITS; see https://github.com/PDP-10/its.  There are also a few ITS systems avaiable online. Lars Brinkhoff (talk) 06:36, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

message: There's an edit war regarding the "working state" of ITS.  Some claim it's "discontinued" and others say it's "active".  As the main contributor of the GitHub project, I would hesitate to say it's active. Lars Brinkhoff (talk) 08:10, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
