The Red Book lies quietly on my shelf, its cover frayed through years of heavy use, some pages torn.

The book and I were both young once. Before 1974 when Tom Schriber was still pregnant with the ideas for the book, I employed a pre-publication version to equip bright and eager students with the skills to practically apply this innovative problem-solving tool, GPSS.

As the years went by, however, the book and I both became grayer. Updated versions of GPSS appeared on various computer platforms. Microcomputers became the tool of choice and friendlier versions of GPSS became available. Through it all, the Red Book never changed, although its price always rose. Rumor had it that Tom Schriber wanted to revise and expand the book so we waited and remained loyal, but nothing happened. We were very patient, but now it is 1990.
