The method of operation described in Note 86 was to interpret data structures to produce graphic order codes for display. This method has proven satisfactory in the past and we favor this approach. The Note 86 proposal is directed toward a particular concept of operation (i.e., minimal graphics terminal connected to computational facilities at remote sites); our remarks embrace extended operations that include smart programs at each end of the connection as well as the minimal terminal. The proposal in Note 86 should be broadened to include the description of more complex entities and it should be raised to a level of describing more general things. In this note, we first criticize the limitations imposed by the details of Note 86; then suggest some supplementary ingredients to extend its scope; and lastly, we suggest an alternate approach that reduces Network conversations (where possible) to symbol manipulation rather than gross detail. |
