"The idea precedes VMS; DEC's RSTS/E for the PDP-11 has had
`Run-Time Systems' for some time. They essentially allow
re-entrant code to be accessed by any number of jobs at once."
And the idea precedes RSTS. TOPS-10, the PDP-10 operating system upon
whose architecture RSTS was based ("hey, let's write TOPS-10 in Basic
for a minicomputer!") implemented "Object Time Systems", which occupied
the upper half of the logical address space of a program written in
Fortran, Algol, or Cobol.
