> five pages of historical background in Bill Olle's "The Codasyl Approach
to Database Management" which I have sitting on my bookshelf...
That's probably a collector's item.
In the late '60s, my boss was a member of the CODASYL DBTG and we were
working on a new compiler with database extensions. Unfortunately, I tossed
those reference materials during a move.
Not too smart! Organizations such as the Computer Museum History Center are
looking for historical materials. Perhaps someone should donate a definitive
history of SGML -> XML.
=======================================================
The Computer Museum History Center has the following:
* Grace Hopper on video telling the story of the first computer bug;
* Bill Gates' paper tape for the Altair with the original
basic. It is signed and dated and we have a photo of it.
* film, tape, and the machine that had the original
SpaceWar! game. This is the PDP-1 and our material has been used on
law suites keeping the ideas in the public domain.
