Pilot
The release date for Pilot 2.0 is August 30, 1978.
John \Vick has called into question the descision not to deliver more releases of Alto/Pilot.
Product Software should examine their development plans in detail to determine if they
require an up-to-date Alto/Pilot for their development and unit testing on the Altos.
Stuffing and Equipment
Paul Jalics has joined the Pilot group for the summer.
Ted Linden is expected next. week and will work on Common Software.
The CM has not yet arrived. Pilot 2.0a (and Pilot 2.0b) are on hold as a result. There is
also an impact on the Pilot/Mesa Runtime Support effort.
\Ve have had some Alto trouble (the most serious being the power supply on Paul i\IcJones
machine which has been out of action since last Thursday). \Ye have compensated by using
machines freed by vacations. \Vith the arrival of Paul Jalics this week and Ted Linden next
week such outages will be much more serious.
