ZTreeWin is a fast and flexible text-mode file/directory manager for all versions of Windows. It has been developed as the successor to the legendary DOS file-manager XTreeGold. Anyone who has used that remarkable program would be aware of its superior capabilities as a text-mode, tree-structured file-manager - but would also likely be aware that its limited memory support, and lack of long filename support are today a major issue. ZTreeWin is a native Windows program (both 32-bit and 64-bit) that has been developed to provide all the powerful functionality of the past (and much more!), while avoiding all the limitations of the old DOS-based program.

Apple Lisa: The GUI (Graphical User Interface) that started it all. If you are sitting in front of a computer with a mouse and pull down menus you owe it to this machine. Windows proponents will tell you that Xerox PARC developed GUIs and Apple stole it from them, therefore what Mr. Gates has done is okay. Xerox had the core idea, but I've seen video of the early PARC work. It was advanced but it was not nearly what the Lisa (and later the Mac) became.

During the period from the mid 1970's to the mid 1980's MicroPro WordStar ruled. WordStar was the first word processing program that was produced for microcomputers. These early, um, personal computers typically ran the CP/M operating system, that, quite frankly, bears a remarkable similarity to the MS/DOS operating system that we (mostly) are now using. (Except that it had no subdirectories. This wasn't quite as bad as it seems, because most users only used floppy diskettes, and separating things onto different diskettes served the same purpose as separating things into separate subdirectories.)

The machine age comes to Fish codebreaking The mathematician Max Newman now came on the scene. He thought that it would be possible to automate some parts of the process for finding the settings used for each message.

1975-1986 11/29/1975 "Micro-soft" name used by Bill Gates in a letter to Paul Allen. 11/26/1976 The tradename "Microsoft" is registered. 08/25/1980 Microsoft XENIX OS was announced. XENIX was an enhanced version id the UNIX operating system.

The computer history timeline has continued to change significantly since the 1930s when computer technology exploded with new developments. Since then, computers have improved in hardware, software, programming, uses and so much more.

Timeline of the major factors involved in the production and development of the Linux operating system as we know it today, as well as major events in Linux history. 1983-2007 1983 - GNU Project announced.

Ever since its launch in 1998, the company founded by Sergey Brin and Larry Page, has continued to grow and always expanded more and more. Today when thinking of Google it isn’t just a search engine anymore but also one of the biggest advertising platform world wide (the biggest?), a software distributor and a mobile phone manufacturer.

The history of computer operating systems recapitulates to a degree, the recent history of computing. Operating systems provide a set of functions needed and used by most applications, and provide the necessary linkages to control a computer's hardware. Without an operating system, each program would have to have drivers for your video card, sound card, hard drive, and other peripherals.

Background The current version of the Internet Protocol IPv4 was first developed in the 1970s, and the main protocol standard RFC 791 that governs IPv4 functionality was published in 1981.
