Schroeder developed the first user control based on command lines with the operating system shell on Multics ( mainframe computer ) at MIT . This counts as the predecessor for the Unix shell from Nokia Bell Laboratories , which is still in use today. In 1964/1965, the team around Schroeder, consisting of Pat Crisman and Louis Pouzin , who were working on improving the CTSS time-sharing system (which resulted in Multics), proposed the MAIL system command in their Programming Staff Note 49 with which a registered user can send messages in the form of letters in a computer system without the recipient of the message having to be registered in the system. It was implemented in 1965 by Tom Van Vleck at the suggestion of JCR Licklider . This procedure, also known as time-sharing mail , was only replaced by the mail box protocol in 1971.
