part of why Pascal I/O was dorked was because he used the
read/write semantics of the CDC systems. It very screwy
and simple in nature. Don't expect much.</div>

while since I used them, but my memory is that the Kronos,
NOS and SCOPE all used the same semantics for batch

a couple of folks that might remember - Tektronix had two
CDC systems (1) and I one of my old colleagues from those
days that was a programmer for the CDC Center(2), I'm
working with again. If you have specific questions send
them to me off list and I'll see if I can get you in

my favorite all time quotes that I wish I had said. Bill
Price who had been one of the B5000 designers and was then
working with us in Tek Labs when the Tek CDC team was
renamed from the "Scientific Computer Center" to the
"Computer Science Center". Bill hears this and quips:
"That's like calling a strip mine and archeology dig."</div>
