I'm somewhat fraught in thinking about how to fix this article - I can attest to its truth, but in the literalist world of Wikipedia, the article is nothing more or less than Original Research. I wish the author has a more-or-less persistent blog on which to post this history. Then we could use his blog post (and Craig's email - Hi! Craig!) as the references. I've posted a couple of things about the RAX Library structure. Cryptosmith (Rick Smith) (talk) 13:25, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I worked on this operating system for 4 years, so I can also attest to the truth of the article. The operating system wasn't well documented so there are not many documents, at least public documents, that we can use to document the operating system, a significant computing achievement that did have its own merits.

I think that personal testimony is okay for this article.

I used the system for about 5 years until the university moved most users to a UNIX system (1985 - 1990). Everything in the article is consistent with my memory of the system. Has anyone contacted the BU ACC to see if the documentation was migrated from paper tape in the 1990s? ptrourke (talk) 15:27, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
