those programs were made up at m.i.t. and they had to be separate programs or you had a program for landing radar, rendezvous radar, the descent if they took ae, star trek to locate where you were, and each one of those called by a master program called an executive. that executive was designed by a fellow at m.i.t. his name was herb fanning. it's great feature was that it would keep running even if one of the other programs had a and also had a feature that allowed for interrupts. number,z would put in a it was asking for something that constituted an interrupt. that interrupt took a little bit of time. that one or two or three of the alarms was he put in a d68 request. so he stopped doing that. wasother program alarm because of the way that -- i think the rendezvous radar had been set up and it was trying to attract the command module, that was the whole purpose of it. doing, they got a set of angles that got a high degree of copy tatian to go on. that copy tatian took longer than the main program allowed for it. it had

but those programs were made up at m.i.t. and they had to be separate programs for -- you had a program for landing radar, rendezvous radar, programs for guidance. programs for -- if they took a star trek to locate where you are. and each one of those programs was called by a master program called an executive. that executive was designed by a fellow up at m.i.t. i think his name was herb fanning. it's an interesting read if you're in that area or interested in that kind of thing. but its great feature was that it would keep running, even if one of the other programs had a problem. it also had a feature that allowed for what they called interrupts. so when buzz would put in a number like p-68 or something like that, he was asking for something. that constituted an interrupt. that interrupt took a little bit of time. and it was -- buzz kind of figured out that one or two or three of the 1201s or 1202 alarms was associated when he put in a p-68 request. so he stopped doing that. the other program alarm was because of the way i

assigned by a was fellow at m.i.t.. you can find this online, by the way, it's an interesting read if you are in that area. but the great feature was that it would keep running even if one of the other programs had a problem. thatso had a feature allowed for what they call interrupts. would put in a number like p60 eight and was asking for something, that constituted an interrupt. that interrupt over a little bit out that oneigured or two or three of them was p68ciated when he put in a request so he stopped doing that. the other program alarm was because of the way the rendezvous radar had been set up. it was trying to track and the command module, that was the whole purpose of it. but in so doing, it got a set of angles that caused a high degree of computation to go on. that computation took a little longer than the main program allowed for. it hadn't finished, and it was time to go on to the next thing. an executive overflow and that is what caused a couple of the alarms. those things we didn't know early on, they wer
