=== Email ===

=== Email ===

Mr. Crocker is often reffered as one of the inventors and designers of E-mail. He developed MS, based on the design of MSG, which was the first modern Email sender program. MS was designed for UNIX operating system. The idea was initiated by [[Steve Walker]], who was then the Program Manager at [[DAPRA]]. While [[Dave Farber]] managed the overall work for the program, Mr. Crocker designed the functional specifications and [[Steve Tepper]] and [[Bill Crosby]] did the programming.

Mr. Crocker is responsible in part for the facilitation and growth of Email.. He developed MS, based on the design of MSG, which was the first modern Email sender program. MS was designed for UNIX operating system. The idea was initiated by [[Steve Walker]], who was then the Program Manager at [[DAPRA]]. Mr. Crocker designed the functional specifications and [[Steve Tepper]] and [[Bill Crosby]] did the programming, reporting to the [[Rand]] department head, [[Bob Anderson]].

In 1977, Mr. Crocker, [[John Vittal]], [[Kenneth Pogran]], and [[Austin Henderson]] worked together on a DARPA initiative that was meant to collect various email data formats into a single, coherent specification. The result of there work was [http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc733.txt RFC 733]. In 1982, Dave revised RFC 733 and prepared [http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc822.txt RFC 822], which was the first standard to describe the syntax of [[Domain Name|domain names]].

In 1978, Mr. Crocker was once again with Dave Farber at the University of Delaware; they developed the first versions of what would become the Multi-purpose Memo Distribution Facility ([[MMDF]]). This project was for the U.S. Army Materiel Command.<ref>[http://www.livinginternet.com/e/ei.htm livinginternet.com]</ref> He has developed two national email services and designed two others.<ref>[http://bbiw.net/dave.html bbiw.net]</ref>
