Questions/Comments/Available Manuals Notes: If you are not interested in "Customer Ordering Information" (the next breakpoint in this session) enter "section Employee" as your response to peruse Employee Ordering Information or enter "section Questions" to peruse Questions/Comments/Available Manuals data. Customer ordering information: Automatic distribution of documentation: New sites are entitled to receive an "initial allotment" of manuals free of charge. The allotment of free manuals is equivalent in value to five percent of the first month's rental fee, up to a maximum of $1000. In order to receive the initial allotment, the site sales representative must submit a Honeywell Publications Requisition Form (HIS 2808 (7/80)) to the Distribution Center. If the system registration number is specified on the requisition form (i.e., with the initial allotment request), the site will automatically receive two copies of every update (future addendum or revision) for the manuals requested. In the event that the system registration number is not included on the form, the site will receive only the initial allotment and no future updates. To receive manuals other than those in the site's initial allotment on an automatic basis, contact the site sales representative and request that a Honeywell Publications Requistion Form (HIS 2808 (7/80)) be submitted with the site's system registration number so that the site is registered to receive those manuals and all future updates to them. General distribution of documentation: To order specific manuals (e.g., new manuals) in addition to those received with the initial allotment, the customer must submit a Purchase Order through Honeywell Customer Services (i.e., it is not necessary to submit the order through the site sales representative). The address of Honeywell Customer Services is, Publications Services (MA06/MS01) Honeywell Information Systems Inc. 47 Harvard Street Westwood, Massachusetts 02090 The telephone number is (617) 392-5235. Honeywell Customer Publications Order Forms are included in the back of the Honeywell Publications Catalog, Order Number AB81. If a Customer Publication Order Form is not available on site, a letter (on company letterhead) will suffice. If there are any questions, contact the Customer Services organization described above. Notes: A "hotline" service is available for emergency orders -- call (toll-free) 1-800 343-6665. Updates for manuals ordered through Customer Services must be reordered separately when the site becomes aware of new versions to the manuals: updates are not sent automatically. Employee ordering information: Automatic distribution of documentation: Honeywell employees may be registered to receive manuals (and updates to manuals) by product line, and/or category, and/or type. Employees must submit a Honeywell Publication Form (Form Number AP13) to the Distribution Center. The form must include the department number to be charged and the appropriate approval signature. New manuals, revisions, and addenda are sent on an automatic basis after the registration becomes effective (i.e., the employee will not automatically receive a base manual if the initial shipment contains addenda). General distribution of documentation: To order specific manuals on an "as needed" basis, submit the Honeywell Publications Requisition Form (HIS 2808 (7/80)) to the Distribution Center. Notes: A "hotline" service is available for emergency orders -- call (617) 392-5215. Updates to the manuals ordered "as needed" must also be ordered "as needed" (i.e., updates are not sent automatically). Questions/comments/available manuals: If there are any questions about the distribution of manuals, contact the site sales representative, the branch office servicing the site, or Honeywell Publications Services, 47 Harvard Street, Westwood MA 02090. If you have any comments (e.g., find an error) or have suggestions for improvement to a manual, please use the "Technical Publications Remarks Form" (or a copy of same); this form is found at the back of every publication. Notes: The online list of manuals on System M in Phoenix (type "help manuals") contains a complete list of all current and forthcoming (currently planned) manuals. ----------------------------------------------------------- Historical Background This edition of the Multics software materials and documentation is provided and donated to Massachusetts Institute of Technology by Group BULL including BULL HN Information Systems Inc. as a contribution to computer science knowledge. 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.
