Brief history: back in the early sixties, during the development of third generation computers at mit, a group of programmers studying the potential of computers, discovered their ability of performing two or more tasks simultaneously. Bell labs, taking notice of this discovery, provided funds for their developmental scientists to investigate into this new frontier. After about 2 years of developmental research, they produced an operating system they canlmd unix. Sixties to current: during this time bell systems Installed the unix system to provide their computer operators With the ability to multitask so that they could become more productive, and efficient. One of the systems they put on the unix system was called elmos. Through elmos many tasks (i.e. Billing,and installation records) could be done by many people using the same mainframe. Note: cosmos is accessed through The elmos system. Current: today, with the development of micro computers, Such multitasking can be achieved by a scaled down Version of unix (but just as powerful). Microsoft,seeing this development, opted to develop their own unix like system For the ibm line of pc/xts. Their result they called xenix (pronounced zee-nicks). Both unix and xenix can Be easily installed On ibm pcs and offer the same function (just 2 different vendors). Note: due to the many different Versions of unix (berkley unix, Bell system iii, and system V The most popular) many commands Following may/may not work. I have Written them in system v routines. Unix/xenix operating Systems will Be considered identical systems below.
