Probably more that just “slightly” hacked but certainly not a
completely new design. The scheduler was completely reworked
along with the swapping mechanisms. When I first saw it, there were 2
user interfaces; SCI> the System Control Interface for
management operations and PDS> Program Development System for normal
users. Before release, both were collapsed
into the, now familiar, DCL> interface. Just remapping DCL commands
onto the standard utilities was a major part of the work.
