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. See {timesharing}
