Abstract

Gary Kildall was an American computer scientist and entrepreneur and the founder of Digital Research, Inc. (DRI). He is famous for his work on developing the first microprocessor disc operating system and for developing the first programming language and compiler for a microprocessor. His CP/M disc operating system was the basis for the operating system used on the IBM personal computer, and if things had turned out differently at the time, his company, Digital Research, Inc., could well have been Microsoft.
