I have a date for when this feature was announced for ITS. The previous
.CBLK UUO could not access files.
RMS 09/30/73 10:13:28 JOBS! BE FIRST IN YOUR TREE TO INSERT A DISK FILE PAGE!
SEE .INFO.;CORBLK ORDER FOR DETAILS.
(This is now redirected to COFF.)
In related news: A rather complete full dump of the MIT-AI PDP-10 from
1971 has been found. It includes full source code and documentation for
the system, including ITS version 671, DDT, TECO, MIDAS, (MAC)LISP,
CHESS (MacHack), MUDDLE, LOGO, MACSYMA, etc.
