The first version of MOSS was developed by Carl Reed\nin the late 1970's as part of a US Fish and Wildlife Service habitat mitigation \nproject. The first version of MOSS was programmed in FORTRAN on a CDC mainframe \nand then ported to a Data General minicomputer in 1979 and 1980. The first \nUS Bureau of Land Management (BLM) installation of MOSS occurred in 1980 at the \nBLM Oregon State Office. PC-MOSS is the Windows version of MOSS that was \ndeveloped \u0026 released by Solomon 'Sol' Katz, through the BLM. This repository contains \nthe PC-MOSS files, including the FORTRAN language source code.\n\n# Archive Date\n\n~1987\n\n# Archive Credits\n\nIn mid-2020 a surviving copy of the MOSS codebase was discovered at the \nUniversity of Latvia, and was temporarily preserved at the German Institute \nof Economic Research (DIW Berlin).\n\n# In Honour of Sol Katz\n\nSol unfortunately passed away in 1999 from Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, but his \nlegacy lives on in the FOSS4G world. Those interested in making a donation, \nas per Sol's family's request, can do so at https://donate.cancer.org. \n\nThe annual Sol Katz Award (https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Sol_Katz_Award), \nwhich began in 2005, acknowledges the work of FOSS4G community members, \nand pays tribute to one of its founders, for years to come.\n\n# License\n\nThis is free and unencumbered software released into the public domain.\n\nAnyone is free to copy, modify, publish, use, compile, sell, or\ndistribute this software, either in source code form or as a compiled\nbinary, for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial, and by any\nmeans.\n\nIn jurisdictions that recognize copyright laws, the author or authors\nof this software dedicate any and all copyright interest in the\nsoftware to the public domain.
