%%%
%%% Coverage should be complete from volume 3
%%% (1991) to 1998, when publication ceased
%%% with Volume 10, number 1, possibly as a
%%% result of the acquisition of Digital

%%%
%%% At version 1.14, the year coverage looked
%%% like this:
%%%
%%% 1985 ( 7) 1990 ( 34) 1995 ( 27)
%%% 1986 ( 19) 1991 ( 37) 1996 ( 43)

%%% Article: 367
%%%
%%% Total entries: 367
%%%
%%% Volume 1 was published in 9 issues over
%%% four years, 1985--1989. Volumes 2 through
%%% 7 (1990--1996) appeared quarterly in
%%% Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. Volume 7
%%% appeared over two years: 1995--1996. Volume
%%% 7, number 4 (1996) changed to issues
%%% identified by month name.

%%% Compaq/DEC maintains information about this
%%% journal at the World-Wide Web location
%%%
%%% http://www.digital.com:80/info/DTJ/home.html
%%%
%%% There is additional data available at
%%%
%%% http://ejournals.cic.net/entry.52.html
%%%
%%% Note added on 18 July 2006: Those Web sites
%%% are no longer accessible, and are not
%%% recorded in http://www.archive.org/.
%%% However, the DEC Technical Journal has been
%%% scanned into electronic form, and the entire
%%% collection is available for a fee via these
%%% links:
%%%
%%% http://www.dtjcd.vmsresource.org.uk/dtj_cd_index.html
%%% http://www.vmsresource.org.uk/dtj_archive.html
%%%
%%% PDF files for volumes 3--10 are available
%%% online at
%%%
%%% http://www.hpl.hp.com/hpjournal/dtj/
%%%
%%% Many of the entries below have been extracted
%%% from the first source; regrettably, the records
%%% there lack page number information. However,
%%% electronic copies of every article starting
%%% with Volume 3 in 1991 (except volume 4,
%%% number 2) are available, as ASCII text, and
%%% for more recent volumes, also as PostScript
%%% and PDF. URL keywords in the entries below
%%% give the World-Wide Web location of these
%%% articles.
%%%
%%% You can try file extensions .abs (ASCII
%%% abstract), .txt (ASCII text), .ps
%%% (PostScript), and .pdf (Portable Document
%%% Format) in these URLs; generally only the
%%% .ps, or more recently, .pdf, form is cited
%%% in the URL in the bibliographic entry.
%%%
%%% Starting with Volume 7 Number 4, the file
%%% naming convention changed: when the URL
%%% ends in e.g. DTJK07/, it represents an HTML
%%% file, and the related files can be found
%%% under names DTJK07/DTJK07SC.TXT,
%%% DTJK07/DTJK07P8.PS, and
%%% DTJK07/DTJK07PF.PDF: that is, with suffixes
%%% SC.TXT, P8.PS, or PF.PDF respectively.
%%%
%%% The DEC archive noted above contains
%%% reprints of the papers prior to volume 5,
%%% number 3, but each starts (incorrectly)
%%% with page number 1. Where possible,
%%% corrected page numbers have been supplied
%%% from bibliographic entries in other papers
%%% in the Digital Technical Journal. At the
%%% time of writing, there are no articles
%%% available for volume 4 number 2, and
%%% Ulichney:1993:VR in volume 5 number 2 is
%%% available only as an abstract. There are a
%%% small number of other irregularities in the
%%% collections at the DEC archive that are
%%% being reported to the maintainers.
%%%
%%% This bibliography has been collected from
%%% bibliographies in the author's personal
%%% files, from the OCLC Contents1st database,
%%% from the IEEE INSPEC (1989--1996) database,
%%% from the UnCover database, from the DEC WWW
%%% resource noted above, and from the computer
%%% science bibliography collection on
%%% ftp.ira.uka.de in /pub/bibliography to
%%% which many people of have contributed. The
%%% snapshot of this collection was taken on
%%% 5-May-1994, and it consists of 441 BibTeX
%%% files, 2,672,675 lines, 205,289 entries,
%%% and 6,375 <at>String{} abbreviations,
%%% occupying 94.8MB of disk space.
%%%
%%% Numerous errors in the sources noted above
%%% have been corrected. Spelling has been
%%% verified with the UNIX spell and GNU ispell
%%% programs using the exception dictionary
%%% stored in the companion file with extension
%%% .sok.
%%%
%%% BibTeX citation tags are uniformly chosen as
%%% name:year:abbrev, where name is the family
%%% name of the first author or editor, year is a
%%% 4-digit number, and abbrev is a 3-letter
%%% condensation of important title
%%% words. Citation tags were automatically
%%% generated by software developed for the

%%%
%%% In this bibliography, entries are sorted in
%%% publication order, using bibsort -byvolume.
%%%
%%% The checksum field above contains a CRC-16
%%% checksum as the first value, followed by the

contributed to increases in product performance and

code were written for this project. Of particular
interest in this project's development is the
automation of the coding process, instrumentation of
the compiler, built-in consistency checking within the
compiler-self-checking, and the use of self-describing
data structures. This paper gives examples of how these
tools and techniques were used in the development of
the compiler. However, these tools and techniques can
be applied to a wide range of software development

determined that a file service would meet the goals,
