The Decode-Encode Language (DEL) is a machine independent language tailored to two specific computer network tasks: accepting input codes from interactive consoles, giving immediate feedback, and packing the resulting information into message packets for network transmissin. and accepting message packets from another computer, unpacking them, building trees of display information, and sending other information to the user at his interactive station. This is a working document for the evolution of the DEL language. Comments should be made through Jeff Rulifson at SRI.
