| 4 | Historical Background | ||
| 5 | |||
| 6 | This edition of the Multics software materials and documentation is | ||
| 7 | provided and donated to Massachusetts Institute of Technology by Group | ||
| 8 | BULL including BULL HN Information Systems Inc. as a contribution to | ||
| 9 | computer science knowledge. This donation is made also to give evidence | ||
| 10 | of the common contributions of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, | ||
| 11 | Bell Laboratories, General Electric, Honeywell Information Systems | ||
| 12 | Inc., Honeywell BULL Inc., Groupe BULL and BULL HN Information Systems | ||
| 13 | Inc. to the development of this operating system. Multics development | ||
| 14 | was initiated by Massachusetts Institute of Technology Project MAC | ||
| 15 | (1963-1970), renamed the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science and | ||
| 16 | Artificial Intelligence in the mid 1970s, under the leadership of | ||
| 17 | Professor Fernando Jose Corbato. Users consider that Multics provided the | ||
| 18 | best software architecture for managing computer hardware properly and | ||
| 19 | for executing programs. Many subsequent operating systems incorporated | ||
| 20 | Multics principles. Multics was distributed in 1975 to 2000 by Group | ||
| 21 | Bull in Europe , and in the U.S. by Bull HN Information Systems Inc., as | ||
| 22 | successor in interest by change in name only to Honeywell Bull Inc. and | ||
| 23 | Honeywell Information Systems Inc. . | ||
