The many faces of Multics

J. E. Jarvis *

Honeywell Information System Ltd., Honeywell House, Great West Road, Brentford, UK

Figure 1 is an example of a standard login sequence for Multics, with a few personal features illustrated—abbreviating ‘login’ to ‘1’ and automatically having mail, or the ‘no mail’ message, posted to the terminal. Multics is capable of representing simultaneously an enormous range of different interfaces to its world of users and the following discussions illustrates some of the tools available to build individual environments tailored to either the individual and/or the application.

Received August 1973.
