Chuck Dornbush worked as a software designer, developer, and team leader at ARC between September 1972 and February 1974. In 1973, he led a redesign effort to modularize and standardize the user interfaces to NLS; during this project, he reports, he "devised and implemented CML (Command Meta Language) which was used to produce a much more flexible, scalable system. CML provided an open architecture for NLS, allowing subsystems developed by external parties to be seamlessly integrated into NLS. It also enforced user interface standards across the entire system and improved development productivity many fold. CML was a foundation of NLS architecture for several years. I don't know what happened to it after NLS migrated to Tymshare."
After leaving ARC, Mr. Dornbush pursued a business and investment career and in 1997 founded Athenium, a collaborative e-learning company headquartered in Weston, MA. He writes, "Athenium pursues several of the original goals of ARC; the inspriraton of DCE was a major force for building Athenium."
