We used to have Primes when I worked at the
University of Salford. As
well as having binary compatability the system also seemed to contain
lots of the original Honeywell software. I guess that like the old IBM
Mainframe software, the Honeywell software was not copyright...
Somewhere, I seem to remember that software copyright didn't kick in until about
1978, officially in the US.
Do I remember correctly?
