line.

Overview

AOS/VS exploited the 8-

DBMS. Rings 5 and 6 were reserved for use by user programs but rarely used except for large software such as the MV/UX inner-ring emulator and Oracle

which used ring 5. All user programs ran in ring 7.

The AOS software was far more advanced than competing

command-line interpreter

(CLI) allowing for complex scripting, DUMP/LOAD, and other custom components.

The 16-bit version of the CLI is famous for including an

32-bit version of the CLI became available under AOS/VS II

, the same command instead reported "Twice As Much Happens".

A modified version of System V.2

AViiON

machines.

The AOS and AOS/VS kernels were written entirely in assembly language. Almost all of the AOS and AOS/VS utilities included in the operating system releases were written in DG/L a variant of the ALGOL/60 programming language. Initially, AOS/VS utilities closely tracked AOS source development. As AOS/VS matured, many DG-supplied utilities were rewritten to take advantage of the 32-bit address space and reduce dependencies on assembly language, often resulting in substantial increases in functionality, performance and reliability compared with their AOS ancestors.
