Re: Alive?

["David G. Durand" <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I posted a similar message a few weeks ago. I'm very interested in 
understanding the algorithms in the Udanax code -- I don't know if 
the code itself needs to live on or not, since many of the issues 
that it addresses (persistent storage, virtual memory management in 
small memory systems, remote procedure calls) are now solvable either 
by simply throwing hardware at the problem or available as standard 
facilities in appropriate development systems.

The algorithmic knowledge developed by the Xanadu principals, 
however, may well be unique.

I've been trying to figure out how the code works, and will volunteer 
again here to help anyone write this stuff up as a proper paper.

I posted URLs to a few code browsers I quickly hacked together, and 
some musing on what I have managed to extract from my occasional 
evenings of code-browsing over the last few months.

I'll repost if there's interest. My first posting produced no response at all.
