It was the shell of Tripos, the operating system they adopted.
Tripos had some neat stuff, such as very fast hashed file name
lookups.

As has been mentioned in another message, though, one thing it
did NOT have was memory protection. Errors due to memory
corruption were called "Guru Meditations." Wild pointers caused
the Guru to do a lot of meditating. ;-)
