- Three paragraphs describing the highlights of CNM's
contibutions to Information Retrieval.
- A Tribute To Calvin N. Mooers,
A Pioneer Of Information Retrieval
- Eugene Garfield offers fond and informative reminiscences
about CNM's work and influence.
- From
ENIAC To Real-Time Access On The Web: A Technological
Revolution In 50 Short Years
- Eugene Garfield mentions CNM's influence in an account of
early work on "machine indexing"
on the UNIVAC.

- Mooers’
Law: In and Out of Context Brice Austin, LIS Graduate
Program, University of Denver
- In an article published in the Journal of the American
Society for Information Science and Technology [(JASIST),
v.52 no.8, June 2001. ], Mr. Austin asserts, "...An
interesting thing has happened to Mooers’ Law...
along the way to acceptance: the law that is becoming
widely held as true by information professionals is not
the same one that Mr. Mooers proposed.", and
discusses the implications of "...difference between
the actual law and its mutation ...".

coding to illustrate it. "

Nelson's FREEMACS: An open source version of EMACS
(uses MINT instead of LISP)
Michael Montague's Tintware.
Tint is a string substition language; currently under
developnment.
It is intended to be used as an extention language. Tint Emacs is
an emacs clone for Win32
(and hopefully soon Linux). It uses Tint as its extension
language. A regular expression library
called Carp has been added. This can be used in Tint and Tint
Emacs, as well as other programs.
Summary information about TINT development can be found in "Freshmeat"
