compatible timesharing system
     
         ctss one of the earliest 1963
        experiments in the design of interactive time-sharing
        operating systems.  ctss was ancestral to multics, unix,
        and its.  it was developed at the mit computation center
        by a team led by fernando j. corbato.  ctss ran on a modified
        ibm 7094 with a second 32k-word bank of memory, using two
        2301 drums for swapping.  remote access was provided to up
        to 30 users via an ibm 7750 communications controller
        connected to dial-up modems.
     
        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.
