Abstract

The Augmentation Research Center (ARC) at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), has been developing for several years a computer-based on-line system called NLS. NLS is part of ARC's research on enhancing the intellectual effectiveness of people. Central to the developments to date is highly interactive text manipulation using chiefly display terminals. The NLS system supports a range of display terminals (from expensive text/graphics displays to inexpensive Alpha Numeric displays) and typewriter terminals. The NLS program runs as a subsystem within a TENEX time-sharing system on a DEC PDP-10 computer.
