Milestones:
11-08-2014: Multics reborn! The dps-8/m SIMH-based simulator booted Multics MR 12.5, came to operator command level, entered admin mode, created a small PL/I program, compiled and executed it, and shut down.
05-08-2015: The Ritter Park RCC Multics installation crashed. BCE was used to generate a dump, and when the system
was rebooted, the >dumps directory was written to a tape [image]. The tape was shipped (emailed) to the SVE Multics system,
where the >dumps directory was restored and analyzed.
11-05-2015: The Ritter Park RCC Multics installation was "[T]aken down after a month of uptime."
12-15-2015: Creation of Multics ALPHA release MR12.6. The first new Multics release in 15+ years. Contains Y2K fixes, etc.
