Raggedy Ann

It appears that many books were released and credited to Johnny Gruelle after his death, regardless of who actually wrote and illustrated them. .
. This lineage is made clear in Cutler's foreword to Inside Windows NT, quoted on Neil Rieck's "Windows-NT" is "VMS re-implemented" page. The current copyright on the characters is owned by Simon & Schuster and Hasbro, Inc. Microsoft's Windows NT system is a distant descendent of RSX-11M but is more directly descended from an object-oriented operating system Cutler developed for a RISC processor (PRISM) which was never released. Many subsequent books were published and the characters made their way into other media, including:. Principles first tried in RSX-11M later appeared in DEC's VMS.

A sequel, Raggedy Andy Stories (1920) introduced the character of her brother, Raggedy Andy, dressed in sailor suit and hat.
Dave Cutler was the project leader for RSX-11M, which was an adaptation of the earlier RSX-11D for a smaller memory footprint. The character was created in 1915 as a doll, and was introduced to the public in the 1918 book Raggedy Ann Stories. A doll was also marketed along with the book to great success. It existed in many versions:. Raggedy Ann is a blue and white clad rag doll with red yarn for hair. RSX-11: A family of real-time operating systems mainly for PDP-11 computers created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), common in the late 1970s and early 1980s, designed for and much used in process control, but also popular for program development. Raggedy Ann is a fictional character created by writer Johnny Gruelle (1880-1938) in a series of books he wrote and illustrated for young children. The IAS light pattern was a single bar of lights that swept leftwards.

Raggedy Granny Stories (1977) by Doris Thorner Salzberg. The RSX-11M light pattern was two sets of lights that swept outwards to the left and right from the center of the light display (or inwards if the IND indirect command file processor program was currently running). Raggedy Ann's Cooking School (1974). When run on certain PDP-11 processors, each version of RSX displayed a characteristic light pattern on the front of the processor any time the system was idle (and the processor was executing the PDP-11 WAIT instruction). Raggedy Andy's Treasure Hunt (1973). Before DCL, the usual RSX prompt was ">" or "MCR>", standing for the "Monitor Console Routine". Raggedy Ann and the Tagalong Present (1971). For several years, the top item on the wishlist was "same day service".

Raggedy Ann and the Wonderful Witch (1961). Outside the office of the engineer in charge of ongoing maintenance of the taskbuilder was a whiteboard labeled "Taskbuilder wishlist". Raggedy Ann and the Happy Meadow (1962). If the overlay scheme was especially complex, taskbuilding could take a rather long time. Raggedy Ann and the Hobby Horse (1961) by Johnny Gruelle. In order to support large programs within the PDP-11's relatively small virtual address space of 64 KB, a sophisticated semi-automatic overlay system was used; for any given program, this overlay scheme was produced by RSX's taskbuilder program (called TKB). Raggedy Ann and the Golden Ring (1961). The operating system and utilities were to run on the entire line of PDP-11 platforms, from the very small systems up through the PDP-11/70 which had memory-mapping hardware and supported up to 4 MB of memory." -- David Cutler, foreword to Inside Windows NT.

Raggedy Ann's Secret (1959). a multitasking operating system that would run in 32 KB of memory with a hierarchical file system, application swapping, real-time scheduling, and a set of development utilities. Raggedy Ann's Tea Party (1954). .. Raggedy Andy's Surprise (1953). "My first operating system project was to build a real-time system called RSX-11M that ran on Digital's PDP-11 16-bit series of minicomputers. Raggedy Ann's Merriest Christmas (1952) by Johnny Gruelle. "RSX was a separate path at DEC and the progenitor more than anything of VMS that went to NT via Dave Cutler." -- Gordon Bell, Vice President, Research and Development, Digital Equipment Corporation.

Raggedy Ann and Marcella's First Day At School (1952). OSRV and RSX driver interfaces are different & incompatible. Ragged Ann's Mystery (1947). That happened because of better work by the RSX-11' re-coders, stability of patched RSX, and a faster update cycle for SM-RSX drivers & patches, made possible by the SM users community. Raggedy Ann and the Slippery Slide (1947). (OSRVM is the next model of OSRV-SM for the SM-1425.) But RSX11M 'patched' for the SM's processor was used more often than rewritten OSRV. Raggedy Ann's Adventures (1947). But, there are differences between RSX and OSRV because of differences between SM and PDP' hardware and recognised by Soviet engineers bugs in RSX.

Raggedy Ann in the Snow White Castle (1946). Not surprisingly, the six-character string 'OSRVSM' fits nicely in the same 16-bit RADIX-50 word as 'RSX11M'. Raggedy Ann and Andy (1944). If read as Cyrillic, the name OSRV is an abbreviation for 'Operatsionnaya Sistema Realnogo(Razdelenija) Vremeni' -- Russian for 'Real Time(Time dividing) Operating System'. Raggedy Ann and Betsy Bonnet String (1943) by Johnny Gruelle. According to other sources, RSX-11M source code might have been stolen by the KGB. Raggedy Ann and Andy and the Nice Fat Policeman (1942) by Johnny Gruelle. This system appeared to be an exact duplicate of RSX-11M save that the prompt was changed in the binary files.
