   • 1980 September, Allan Tommervik, “John Couch’s Software Vision”, in Margot Comstock Tommervik, editor, Softalk, volume 1, number 1, North Hollywood, Calif.: Softalk Publishing, →ISSN, →OCLC:

     If John Couch’s vision of the software future comes to fruition, datagramming will replace programming as the operative word for microcomputers in the current decade. In its most fundamental form, datagramming entails entering the data to be operated on, setting specifications that will inform the computer of the operations to be performed, and then letting the computer do the programming (see page 24). Datagramming will allow the nonprogrammer the access to and ability to manipulate data that had been available previously only to programmers.

   • 1983 April, Bill Allen, “Assembly language programming – in easy-to-take doses”, in Windfall: The International Apple Microcomputer Users’ Magazine, volume 2, number 10, Hazel Grove, Greater Manchester: Database Publications, →OCLC, pages 40 and 42:

     So this month we shall examine another datagramming application which, generally speaking, will show you how it can help make better use of Vislcalc, and in particular will help expedite in a unique way the process of making periodic comparisons between budgeted figures and actual results. Do NOT attempt to copy this month’s datagramme unless you have familiarised yourself with the introductory notes on datagramming in the October 1982 issue of Windfall or you have previous experience with Visicalc’s auto-EXEC facilities. While on the subject of datagramming, I want to thank Allan Dubost of Dibdon Purlieu in Hampshire for sending me a series of datagrammes which will enable Visicalc users to load VC files from a menu.

   • 1984, “Magicalc”, in Jeffrey Stanton, Robert P. Wells, Sandra Rochowansky, Michael Mellin, editors, The Book of Apple Software 1984, Los Angeles, Calif.: The Book Company, Arrays Incorporated, →ISBN, →ISSN, page 22:

     The print command has been enhanced. You are still allowed to print to paper or disk, but with added formatting for left/right and top/bottom margins. All margins and setup strings are “remembered” from one printing to the next. Once set, all you have to do is specify the bottom right cell. The Spreadsheet will “print to disk” enabling the creation of command files and datagramming, as with VisiCalc.

   • 1988, “Alloy Computer Products, Inc.”, in Susan Holly, editor, 1988 PC Tech Journal Directory, volume 5, number 13, New York, N.Y.: Ziff-Davis Publishing Co., →OCLC, page 187, column 2:

     Network executive system. Allows disk caching for data access. Supports high-capacity hard disk volumes and high-speed interprocessor datagramming communications.

   • 1990 September, Peter S. Brooks, Dennis DeRiggi, “PDU Information”, in The Integration of SIMNET with a Theater-Level Combat Model (IDA Paper P-2491), Fort Belvoir, Va.: Institute for Defense Analyses, IDA Central Research Program, →OCLC, chapter II (SIMNET: A Distributed Interactive Simulation), section C (Utility as an Analytic Tool), page 9:

     All SIMNET computations are performed locally, then shared through the underlying network. Information is transmitted in the form of packets or protocol data units (PDUs). These packets contain the fundamental information, such as vehicle position, appearance, or change in status, that is required to make the simulation viable. Computers attached to the network exchange this information via SIMNET's datagram service. This service allows the transfer of up to 1024 bits of data in a single operation (i.e., "datagramming" obviates the need to first establish a connection between the source and destination computers).
