Dennis's Turing Award lecture in the same issue
of CACM is worth re-reading too,
especially for those who think that Open Source is a cure for the common
cold or that it was invented in the 1990s or 1980s.
Could you tell me which year/month this was? Perhaps it's in the ACM
digital library and I can find it that way.
Thanx!
Bye, Arno.

The URL is http://www.acm.org/classics/sep95/ so I suppose it is September
1995.

In article by John Foust:
Has it ever been independently established that this viral
version of the compiler ever actually existed, or was this
just a parable about viral code?
- John
I've asked Dennis. I'll relay any replies.
