From: Jerry E. Pournelle <POURNE@mit-mc.arpa>
In Studio City, California, with J. E. Pournelle and Associates.
Pay is minimum to nothing, and probably not negotiable; however,
there will be some opportunities to earn some outside money.
Duties: evaluate micro computers and software; provide reports
on these. This will involve learning to use a number of
machines. Primarily CP/M, but also UCSD Pascal, TPM, possible
TurboDos. MPM 8/16, Concurrent CPM-86, and CP/M 86.
Languages involve Pascal, Modula II, ADA (subset), CB80 andd
CB-86; possibly others.
Software includes damned near anything pbulished for micro
computers/.
Not m uch programming abiliy required or expected. It's hoped
some of this will be learned.
What's needed is a gnereral all around assistant senior level or
grad student, interested in working with a whole bunch of micro
computers to get familiarity with them. Arrangements can be
made with any one of several universities for internship credit.
Pay is low to non-existent because it is unlikely that anyone
starting in this will be worth anything to me, and the total
income in this evaluation bit isn't large. However, there are
opportunities to publish for those able to write.
There are a lot of machiens and software here; more than
can be handled by present staff. Anyone want to learn a lot
about small machines, some before they are for sale?
