Nevertheless, Ashenhurst's insistence on letters not being technically detailed suggests another forum. I have sent a note to the Sigsam bulletin, with many of the same facts; perhaps additional letters should be sent to Sigsam Bulletin. A letter to CACM could, perhaps, refer to these other publications. re: Macsyma and MIT's "authorization"... I rarely take my automobile to the dealer's service center; I think Symbolics has to demonstrate the skill of its "macsyma mechanics" before I would trust them with my software maintenance.
