I think you can go back to before the birth of the computer. There is nothing in
the patent that has not been practiced as long as computers ( human, mechanical,
or electronic ) has existed. Bad patent! Bad PTO!
Law and Justice don't mix. You can have either, but not in the strict sense both
at the same time.

This is a classic problem with software, PJ. I've seen a few hundred manuals
over the past 25 years, and I've also used and written a lot of software
solutions.
I don't have access to the formal documentation or source for most of those.
They are either in the hands of former employers or, more likely, they no longer
exist because those systems are no longer in use.
Just because there is no evidence today doesn't mean those things weren't rather
obvious, even to relatively green programmers like myself in the early 80's when
we wrote and documented those solutions.
