Compatible Time-Sharing System. An early (1963) experiment in the design of interactive time-sharing 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.
