Bernard Greenberg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bernard S. Greenberg is a programmer and computer scientist, known for his work on Multics and the Lisp machine.

[edit] Projects

In 1978, Greenberg implemented Multics Emacs[1] using Multics Maclisp. The success of this effort influenced the choice of Lisp as the basis for later versions of Emacs.[2][3]

Greenberg was involved in the design of the "New Error System" at Symbolics, which in turn influenced the condition system adopted by ANSI Common Lisp.[4]

While working at Symbolics, Greenberg implemented the Lisp Machine File System (LMFS).[5]

In 1987, Greenberg and Sonya Keene authored RFC 1037. NFILE - a file access protocol.
