       @m0xEE > A variant of one of our algorithms has been used successfully forseveral years in the virtual memory system of the Apple Newton, apersonal digital assistant with no disk [SW91] (Walter Smith, personalcommunication 1994, 1997). While we have not previously publishedthis algorithm, we sketched it for Smith and he used it in the New-ton, with good results[..]
