Does everybody know the duality of "Gee Whiz BASIC" and "Gordon Whitten BASIC"?
- Wistar 5y agoGreg Whitten. I don't know the answer.
- pauldavis 5y agoWhoops, yeah.
- IncRnd 5y agoYes. And, there are other possible expansions, e.g. Gates William. This is likely no different than the MZ in the DOS exe header. Nobody actually knows (and says!) what MZ stands for, but it is believed to be Mark Zbikowski.
- pauldavis 5y agoPretty sure it is Mark Zbikowski.
- colejohnson66 5y agoTo be fair, he did design the file format
- IncRnd 5y agoI believe that, too. However, for something like a zip file, I KNOW that the PK in the header stands for Phil Katz.
