TSS was modeled on MULTICS and had a very nice mix of features (and a few bugs), so, you might want to include it in your discussion :-) Hugh LaMaster, m/s 233-9, UUCP {topaz,lll-crg,ucbvax}!

Am I alone here, not as a TSS person but as a person who was on the development side of TSS and who benchmarked against MULTICS and ITS and UNIX and MVS? I once "owned" a chunk of TSS VM services routines when I worked for Big Blue. Who remembers "the Phantom", "Mad Mac", "IBFROGGY" (me), and "buffered out now"? Let me hear from you! ken@oahu.mcl.unisys.com@sdcjove.cam.unisys.com
