THE TEXT OF OSPub

Abstract

The two volumes of this monograph comprise the complete text of an experimental operating system, and a commentary on it. It is published to illustrate the authors’ papers describing the system (Stoy, J.E., and Strachey, C. : os6 – an experimental operating system for a small computer ; Comp. J. 15, No8. 2 and 3, 1972), to give an example of an operating system written in a high level language, and to provide material for discussion about matters of style in programming.
