    Is there goood documentation available? Is the ENIAC on

The project is generally described here:

But the best technical description of it by far that I've found is in the book,
"The First Computers--History and Architectures," MIT Press, eds. R. Rojas,
2000.  The relevant pages are online with Google Books here, starting on p121 of the
book:

The 207 page ENIAC patent is here:
