Keywords: Linux Andrew AUIS BCS (Boston Computer Society), local, users' group

Organization: ?
Approved: linux-announce@news.ornl.gov (Lars Wirzenius)
Followup-to: comp.os.linux.misc
Meeting Topic: Andrew User Interface System (AUIS)
Bill Cattey of MIT will present a talk and live demonstration of the
Andrew User Interface System (AUIS), showing how the Andrew Message system
works for e-mail, as well as how Andrew can be used for publishing papers
in an "ez" manner. Also to be shown will be a look into the Andrew
Development Environment Workbench.
This was technology that was first released in 1983. Other toolkits
started later, had a poorer architecture, but have surpassed AUIS in
polish. The Linux community has an opportunity to take this free
technology and move it into the world-class arena just as they did with
the UNIX architecture.

Date: 21 June 1995, Wednesday
Time: 7:00 pm.

Linux is a UNIX-like operating system built around POSIX standards. From
its inception less than three years ago, it was developed over the
Internet by a group of people who (for the most part) have never seen
each other, and now runs on an (estimated) 1,000,000 computer systems.
The operating system (and the source code for it) is free to anyone who
wants it. This is probably the largest development project ever
accomplished using the Internet.
