[TUHS] Book Recommendation

>>I take credit as a go-between, not as an inventor. Ken Knowlton
>>introduced the notation ABC in BEFLIX, a pixel-based animation

> In BEFLIX, 'ABC' meant what, exactly?  Offsets from pixel locations?

It meant exactly what A->B->C means in C. Pixels had properties,
represented in data structures. One valid data type was pointer.

Incidentally, another BEFLIX innovation was the buddy system for
dynamic storage allocation.
