- gwhis — (web) A commercial version of NCSA Mosaic for MS Windows 3.x and Windows for Workgroups. GWHIS was released by Quadralay Corporation on 30 September 1994. GWHIS Viewer for Microsoft Windows differs from NCSA Mosaic for Microsoft Windows in several ways including: A hotlist similiar to the X Window System version. Edit Annotation and Delete Annotation work. All Buttons and Menu Items are "greyed out" while files are being retreived and processed. This prevents the user from queing up requests to the TCP/IP stack which causes many crashes. Look and Feel are similiar to the X version. On-line help is complete. Functional Setup program. Greater overall stability.
- inews — (messaging, application) A Unix program for posting Usenet news articles, written by Rich $alz <[email protected]> for InterNetNews. inews reads an article (perhaps with headers) from a file or standard, adds some headers and possibly a signature, and, if the article passes some consistency checks (too much quoting, non-existent newsgroup) then inews sends the article to the local news server for distribution. If an unapproved posting is made to a moderated newsgroup, inews will try to send the article to the moderator (specified in a configuration file) by electronic mail. Version: 1.25, dated 1993/03/18.
- iswim — (language) (If You See What I Mean) An influential but unimplemented computer programming language described in the article by Peter J. Landin cited below. Landin attempted to capture all known programming language concepts, including assignment and control operators such as goto and coroutines, within a single lambda calculus based framework. ISWIM is an imperative language with a functional core, consisting of sugared lambda calculus plus mutable variables and assignment. A powerful control mechanism, Landin's J operator, enables capture of the current continuation (the call/cc operator of Scheme is a simplified version). Being based on lambda calculus ISWIM had higher order functions and lexically scoped variables. The operational semantics of ISWIM are defined using Landin's SECD machine and use call-by-value (eager evaluation). To make ISWIM look more like mathematical notation, Landin replaced ALGOL's semicolons and begin end blocks with the off-side rule and scoping based on indentation. An ISWIM program is a single expression qualified by "where" clauses (auxiliary definitions including equations among variables), conditional expressions and function definitions. With CPL, ISWIM was one of the first programming languages to use "where" clauses. New data types could be defined as a (possibly recursive) sum of products like the algebraic data types found in modern functional languages. ISWIM variables were probably dynamically typed but Landin may have planned some form of type inference. Concepts from ISWIM appear in Art Evan's PAL and John Reynold's Gedanken, Milner's ML and purely functional languages with lazy evaluation like SASL, Miranda and Haskell.
