Time was maintained in the kernel that way as well. There are other systems that ran out of “time” a long time ago. The TOPS-10 software ran out in 1975 or so if I recall. The Apollo domain/os ran out of time as well but I think the whole OS became obsolete before it’s time function. The last release of the OS came out eight years earlier. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
