I'm drawing a blank here on Tripos, but I've
noticed some simularities to
OpenVMS in the Amiga OS. IIRC, AmigaOS development was done on something
like a VAX-11/780. Anyway the above syntax kind of looks like something
you'd find in a DEC OS to me.
The main source on which I've seen it mentioned that AmigaDOS
was a port of Tripos was on Gareth Knight's 'Amiga Interactive
Guide'. It was supposedly ported by a company called MetaComCo in
late 1984 when the original 'Intuition' was way behind schedule.
That's the first time I've heard that AmigaOS developement was done
on a VAX though. For those not familiar with Gareth's web page, it's
been around for quite a while and has quite a lot of good information
on all things Amiga.
