There are several successful operating systems for mini-computers written in high level languages and the time is now ripe for the development of portable systems for such machines. The system described in this paper is primarily designed to provide a friendly interactive multiprocessing environment for a single user. From his point of view, substantial parts of the system are completely machine independent. These include, for instance, the filing system, the command language, text editors, overlaying facilities and interprocess communication primitives. The system is suitable for many different application areas ranging over process control, data acquisition, data communication, text handling, data base systems and teaching. |
