When I was working at BBN in 1978, in part on a LOGO project, the official spelling was in CAPS.
Don't forget, in those days, a lot of devices were upper-case only. Hence, even in the 1970s, many people said `FORTRAN' and `COBOL'.
- jhgb 5y agoTrue, I forgot it was created on a upper-case-only PDP. It's just that I never saw this spelling in literature, even in the 1980s.
- larsbrinkhoff 5y agoNo PDP was upper-case only. Even the PDP-1 with its FIODEC character set had lower-case. Many early output devices were upper-case only.
