Note that these separate classes were used to allow future expansion to the user classes, rather than make them logical "not"'s of one another. NOTE: a DBA is always also a normal user, thus if the caller is a DBA, his normal_user bit will be on also. */ declare 1 mrds_authorization aligned based (mrds_authorization_ptr), 2 version fixed bin, /* version number of this structure */ 2 administrator bit (1) unal, /* caller is a DBA */ 2 normal_user bit (1) unal, /* caller has no special priviledges */ 2 mbz bit (34) unal ; declare mrds_authorization_ptr ptr ; /* pointer for referring to the structure */ declare mrds_authorization_structure_version fixed bin init (1) int static options (constant) ; /* END INCLUDE FILE mrds_authorization.incl.pl1 */ */ ----------------------------------------------------------- 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.
