Sites not installing Multics for the first time will be able to proceed to the MR12.3 release from MR12.2. Sites upgrading to MR12.3 from MR12.2 refer to Section 4, sites installing Multics for the first time refer to Section 5. The instructions in each section will provide a procedure to guide a site through the installation. .spb Documentation for some of the new features and TRs resolved in this release is contained in the directory >doc>MR12.3 which is part of this release. .spb This is a total software release. It contains a complete set of all modules contained in the Multics standard system. .spb Appendix A will list modules added, modified or deleted since MR12.2. .spb Appendix B contains an outline of the use of MTR under Multics. .spb A set of master tapes was generated for this release and all dump maps reflect the contents of these master tapes. All tapes sent to the field are copies of the master tapes. Because of different lengths of magnetic tape reels, there may not be an exact correlation between a single tape and a dump map. .spb These differences, if any, are minimal and occur only on those sets that are multi-reel (e.g., 12.3LDD_STANDARD tapes). Site personnel may assure themselves of the contents of the tapes by visually matching the maps produced from the reload operations against the master dump maps supplied. .brp .fif T__a_p_e_N__a_m_e_s D__e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n .spb .fin .alb .inl 25 .unl 21 12.3EXEC Complete dump of Multics executable libraries >documentation, >obs, >sss, >tools, and >firmware. .spb .unl 21 12.3UNBUNDLED Complete dump of Multics unbundled libraries, or portion thereof, for those sites purchasing Priced Software Products.

This donation is made also to give evidence of the common contributions of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Bell Laboratories, General Electric, Honeywell Information Systems Inc., Honeywell BULL Inc., Groupe BULL and BULL HN Information Systems Inc. to the development of this operating system. Multics development was initiated by Massachusetts Institute of Technology Project MAC (1963-1970), renamed the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence in the mid 1970s, under the leadership of Professor Fernando Jose Corbato. Users consider that Multics provided the best software architecture for managing computer hardware properly and for executing programs. Many subsequent operating systems incorporated Multics principles. Multics was distributed in 1975 to 2000 by Group Bull in Europe , and in the U.S. by Bull HN Information Systems Inc., as successor in interest by change in name only to Honeywell Bull Inc. and Honeywell Information Systems Inc. . ----------------------------------------------------------- Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute these programs and their documentation for any purpose and without fee is hereby granted,provided that the below copyright notice and historical background appear in all copies and that both the copyright notice and historical background and this permission notice appear in supporting documentation, and that the names of MIT, HIS, BULL or BULL HN not be used in advertising or publicity pertaining to distribution of the programs without specific prior written permission.
