Re: Overview of the Cogo Book plus History of COGO by one of its develope

Here is the answer I got, from a programmer of the original COGO programming language out of MIT, as to what happened to COGO?  I am in touch with him but he does not have much time to work on COGO at this point.  He is out of the University of South Florida, in Tampa.

" CLM COGO was abandoned when Charlie Miller died in 2000, but the name "cogo," applied to collections of coordinate geometry tools, continues to be widely represented in current software, notably AutoCAD Civil 3D and Carlson Survey. What has been lost is the concept of COGO as a language. All CLM COGO functions were batch-driven, controlled by a script that could be easily edited and rerun. Modern COGO is an interactive process that happens in a CAD program and cannot be easily documented, edited, or redone. For me, the difference between the CLM and modern varieties is the the difference between programming and drawing."

I have apparently found a current version of CEAL Cogo. It is being developed further by entities in Australia. Please reply if interested in the progress. Joe

I have done much research on this topic over the years.  If CEALs COGO is now INTERNET based, it is a great step forward for a venerable program.
