SCOPE and Kronos were based on Chippewa. COS was
largely
written by Seymour Cray; in particular, MTR is known by
programmers who worked on it later to have been written
completely by Cray. He and one or perhaps two others did
it between June and December 1964.
I should point out here that Cray's MTR continued through
NOS/BE 1.4 or later, but the Kronos version was rewritten
from scratch by Greg Mansfield.
