388 ;;Quote: use the full ASCII character set within an operating system; simplifies input routines and avoids preconceived notions

388 ;;Quote: the tab character is too device-dependent; use a '4-spaces' character for program layout

389 ;;Quote: use input and output streams for I/O; general objects with functions 'next' for input and 'out' for output

390 ;;Quote: OS 6 streams are first class objects; assign to variables, use as parameters, returned by stream functions; e.g., RemoveLayoutChs to remove layout from a stream

395 ;;Quote: use 'PutBack' for adding characters to input streams; e.g., needed for parsing numbers

397 ;;Quote: a stream function creates a stream by allocating memory and setting function pointers, input stream, and initial data

401 ;;Quote: OS6 profile showed almost all execution time spent in unpacking buffers, testing contents, and storing elsewhere

401 ;;Quote: implemented OS6 operating system with an interpreter; optimized frequently executed instructions

401 ;;Quote: OS6 implemented buffered, fast streams; 6x faster

403 ;;Quote: make programs as fast as possible with acceptable correctness; or as correct as possible with acceptable speed

404 ;;Quote: files in OS6 are first-class values; access heading and body by file handle; heading contains information about file

407 ;;Quote: an OS6 file index associates names (e.g., 'LinePrinter' and 'Text') with files; a file has two or more associations

408 ;;Quote: each user has an index accessible from the OS6 system index (e.g., 'JES', 'Index'); may include other indices

408 ;;Quote: an OS6 index may include links to other index entries

409 ;;Quote: can delete a file's body, both header and body, and/or its index entry; garbage-collection removes unusable items

410 ;;Quote: all free pages kept in OS6's free storage file, in cache memory, and on backup disk

411 ;;Quote: each OS6 user has a name, unique number, and index; user may 'log in'; includes maximum disk allocation
