: drj, I think there is an opportunity for a seperate page for the stack-based Xerox workstations such as the Dandelion (8010). As for the relationship between Ada and Mesa see [1]. : NickelKnowledge, People generally react this way - the connection does exist, see [2] for more details. : -- Artistotle |

Well this is all very good. Someone wrote that cedar came before mesa, but http://www.parc.xerox.com/hist-lst.html claims it was the other way round, so I changed it. That also accords with my very vague 3rd or 4th info. Cedar was designed to interop more easily with C and Modula wasn't it? --drj I wrote that Cedar came before Mesa. As a software developer and part of the Xerox' European SDD presence I knew Cedar as Xerox PARC's favourite form of Mesa and I believed that it preceded it. A good correction. -- Aristotle |
