Probably before your time.
SCOPE underwent a name change and became NOS/BE, just like MACE
became KRONOS. Both had their interactive facilities and both were
incestuously related. I believe that Plato ran under KRONOS (needed
a bunch of ECS IIRC).
I doubt that many people remember COS for that matter.
