Pilot
The release date for Pilot 2.0 is October 30, 1978.
The alpha lest release date for Pilol 2.0 was Oclober 2, 1978.
AHa/Pilot has been delayed. It will be released on a date in November yet to be
determined. Experience with the Apex conversion has made increased compatibility with
Pilot 2.0 (i n the sense of restricting features peculiar to the Alto) highly desi rable. Not all
features of Pilot 2.0 will be supported in Alto/ Pilot 2.0.
Staffing and Equi}llllcnt
-Negotiations are still in progress with a candidate for the third Pioneer rcq.
Pilot Impienlentation
Pilot 2.0 was released for alpha test on October 2nd. An update to the alpha testrc1ease was
tnade on October 24lh. As of this writing, 116 change requests have been received.
Approx imatly 30 of these will be held over to Pilot 3.0.
Effort is now bei ng concentrated on the deliverable test programs and on release
documentation.
Only the microcode exec has been dele led from Pilot 2.0. RS232C communicaLions with the
Xerox 800 has been re- i neluded in Pi lot 2.0. Logging has been i neluded in Pilot 2.0.
Alpha tesling has been tess rigorolls lhan is desirable. A decision was made in the SDD
[Iris] (Lynch >October78.Status October 24. 1978 2
staff meeting to abandon the Apex conversion as it required a gre~t deal more erro'rt than
previouly anticipated and would not be completed in time. Jim White has completed RPCP
as an alpha test vehicle and successfully run it on Pilot. lerry Morrison is converting some
utilities in lieu of Apex. Diamond is being used as an alpha test program.
Development Common Software (DCS)
Development Common Software is complete and will be released with Pilot 2.0. A
compatible release update is planned for inclusion with Alto/Pilot 2.0.
Perf ormance Evaluation Tools
All work on the performance evaluation tools is now in the Mesa group or Pilot proper.
