The ITS ("eye" "tee" "ess", never "it's")
operating system for the PDP-10
also has a filesystem component called the scavenger, and there's unlikely
to be much influence between that and the Alto/PERQ. It's kind of an
obvious name, isn't it?

Didn't the Perq scavenger have a vulture cursor? I vaguely remember that.
(I did our first data sheets on he Perq with Metaform, printed on a Xerox
2700? laser printer)
