Classic Software

Preserving Classic Software Grady Booch (of Booch methodology) wants to preserve classic software (link to Tim O'Reilly's blog). I fully support the initiative. Here's my list of top ten classic software products. Unix -- I have the original system 7 source code, with commentary written by well known experts on programming. It is a pure joy to read. How can a computer program that is about 5000 lines long, can embed so many ideas and tricks?! TeX -- One of the greatest pieces of software ever written NeXTStep -- The object oriented operating system that died; portable distributed objects, object oriented file system, OO-IPC (Inter-process communication) etc., I say bring it back! NFS --The network file system The Netscape Browser The original AOL Instant Messenger Microsoft Excel Visual Basic 3.0 SQL -- Yes, the query language for relational databases. The Neighborhood of Malleswaram The old Bangalore neighborhood of Malleswaram hosts traditional people, spiritual people, and interesting people. A new section on the home-turf of Kamats.
