[NTS?]
Non-Timesharing.
When the system was booted (As far I can know..) you loaded the bootstrap
from a paper tape (KA10, maybe KL?) or from the disk
(KS10). Then you got
either NTSDDT or DSKDMP, depending on how you were set up.
Then you told DSKDMP or NTSDDT to load .;@ ITS and start it.
This brought the system to timesharing.
NTSDDT was completely different from the HACTRN, and it's not documented.
A few of the commands were the same.
[Do I run ITS?]
I wish :) bony is actually a Linux box, with a creatively abused copy of
telnetd. It's a PWORD clone and doesn't work correctly, I'm writing a new
version of it using the original source that should behave like the real one.
I am trying to mutilate ITS so as to make an x86 clone of it, but I don't
know what I'm doing. So it's going nowhere.
