Since Pertec is no longer supporting UNIX, I am in need of a position
elsewhere in the UNIX community. Posting this is one of the last things
I will do while still at Pertec, so please don't try to get in touch
with me over the network.
Here is part of my resume:
Roger L. Long
5744-38 E Creekside Ave
Orange, Ca 92669
(714)771-5664
Education:
BS Computer Science, California State University, Fullerton
AA Mathematics, Fullerton College
Experience:
Pertec Computer Corporation January 1981 to August 1985
Irvine, California
Mr. Long joined Pertec just as they were beginning their
development of a new family of computer systems based on the
Motorola 68000 microprocessor. His first responsibilities were
for modifications and enhancements to the Pertec operating
system. He then worked with one of Pertec's customers in
designing and implementing a microfilm retrieval system using
the first prototypes of the new Pertec hardware. This
application was written entirely in the C language.
Mr. Long was then asked to participate in the evaluation of the
industry in order to predict which proprietary operating system
would become the "standard." The conclusion of this evaluation
was that UNIX would be that standard operating system, and
Pertec began talking to different vendors about porting UNIX to
Pertec's hardware. It became obvious that the current
generation of Pertec's hardware wasn't adequate to run UNIX, so
changes were recommended for a new hardware family.
UniSoft, of Berkeley, California, was chosen to provide a port
of AT&T's System III. Mr. Long spent two months at UniSoft
during the initial porting process, during which time he wrote
device drivers and learned UNIX internals by direct experience.
Upon his return to Pertec, Mr. Long was responsible for all
kernel modifications, including new device drivers, performance
enhancements, and tracking of kernel bugs. He has also been
involved with porting to System V, adding support for the 68020
microprocessor, and adding various Berkeley utilities.
Hughes Aircraft Company June 1976 to January 1981
Ground Systems Group
Fullerton, California
Mr. Long worked for Hughes in the area of Computer-Aided Design
and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM). His first responsibility was for
the maintenance of existing production programming on the
company's Amdahl 470, as well as the design and implementation
of a program for editing and updating an automatic router
database.
Mr. Long then was assigned to the Integrated Card System (ICS)
effort, where he participated in the design and implementation
of a real-time graphics system used to create schematics and
schematic symbols. He was responsible for all Operating
Systems support for the Interdata 7/32 computer system used in
the project, including the programming of additional hardware
I/O drivers for the specialized graphics equipment.
Mr. Long had a Secret security clearance.
Fullerton College September 1973 to June 1976
Fullerton, California
While at Fullerton College, Mr. Long was a Student Assistant
for the Business Data Processing Department. Duties involved
maintenance of the operating system for the department's IBM
1130, as well as assisting instructors and students in the use
of the computer system.
Mr. Long was also employed by the Psychology Department as a
consultant to aid in the design and implementation of a set of
programs for Computer-Aided Instruction. These programs
included an automatic test generator and a system to grade
tests and update a class database. Programs for statistical
analysis were also developed.
