An interactive display environment, or knitting sheep's clothing for a wolf
Pages 329 - 339
Abstract
AIDE, An Interactive Display Environment, attempts to improve the usability of a traditional timesharing system by exploiting the use of a powerful personal computer with a large, high-resolution all-points-addressable (APA) display as a terminal. No changes to the timesharing system are required, and existing application programs dependent on alphanumeric display terminals run unchanged. A sample terminal session illustrates AIDE in use. Ways in which the timesharing system might be modified to further exploit the display are suggested.
