CTSS
|
|
|
|
/CTSS/ , n. Compatible Time-Sharing System. An early (1963) experiment in
|
|
the design of interactive timesharing operating systems, ancestral to
|
|
Multics, Unix, and ITS. The name ITS (Incompatible Time-sharing System)
|
|
was a hack on CTSS, meant both as a joke and to express some basic
|
|
differences in philosophy about the way I/O services should be presented to
|
|
user programs.
