Date: Wednesday, 9 Dec 1981 14:43-PST To: ucsfcgl!tef at RAND-UNIX, arpavax.lou at UCB-C70 cc: decvax!aps at RAND-UNIX, decvax!shannon at RAND-UNIX Subject: DEC Vendor Presentation at USENIX From: obrien at RAND-UNIX

The schedule you guys saw needs a change. DEC has asked that the C Compiler for VAX/VMS not be mentioned explicitly because they may not be ready to announce at that time. Someone who shall remain nameless suggested that I purvey some good rumors instead. Ever one to cooperate with an enlightened vendor, I herewith give an ENTIRE SUBSCHEDULE for the DEC presentation:

Keynote Address - C. Gordon Bell "Why the VAX will have only one operating system"

"Elegant Bit-map Raster Design" GIGI Design Team

"Trouble-free Disk Technology" RL-01 Design Team

"High Reliability Magnetic Tape" TS-11 Design Team

"Advanced Small Computer Design" PDP-8/S Design Team

"Device Interface Protocol" TU-58 Design Team

"Communications Processors" KMC-11 Design Team

"Using Communications Processors" DMC-11 Design Team

"Physical Therapy for Communications Processors" DMR-11 Design Team

"The Importance of a Standard Byte Size" DECSystem-10/20 Design Team

"The Importance of a Standard Byte Ordering" PDP-11/VAX Design Team

Closing Musical Number: The Marketing Fast Shufflers dancing to "Keeping the Customer Satisfied", by The Field Service Singers

Naturally, I trust you gentlement to keep this in the strictest confidence. We wouldn't want any nasty rumors to go around, now would we?
