How the software for the Space shuttle is developed

[Urwumpe]

Found a nice presentation that explains the various real-life tools and computers used for developing the Space shuttle software.

Might be interesting for other people who are crazy about historic computing.

BTW... found the homepage of a former NASA expert on the Linkage Editor.

I'm running a mainframe using a z/OS derivative, Gets kinda laggy when calculating the wind speeds from 6000 different areas around the country AND running a PC emulator so I can post here whilst I'm at work ;P .
