Key Accomplishments

✓ Created and led the development of the Multics WORDPRO (Office Automation) product — including development and delivery of sales presentations. This resulted in the sale of a $2 M Multics system to the U.S. White House. ✓ Designed and coordinated the development of enhanced spelling, hyphenation and text formatting algorithms. ✓ Designed and implemented an automated, data-driven suite of CPU instruction set diagnostics.

✓ Designed and implemented a new, general-purpose tape I/O driver, as well as disk drivers. ✓ Designed a unique, generalized, name space-management search facility — implemented after I left the Multics project.

✓ Wrote the BOSS (BIOS) code to drive a new system console.

✓ Was the “technical” liaison to the corporate Multics Marketing group. This involved participating in sales calls and making presentations at conferences.
