Which line of operating systems split into two lines only to merge again later?

Unix is one of the operating systems that split into two line only to merge again later. CP/M is another one of the operating systems as well.

Which line of operating systems split into two lines only to merge agine later?

UNIX and CP/M

How hard would it be to create an operating system?

In this day and age, it would be quite difficult to create an operating system. In 1980, when personal computers came as kits, it was easy to unassemble the operating system, CP/M, and then create your own operating system. This was done and different companies used competing operating systems. Three operating systems now exist, Microsoft, Linux, and UNIX. They are far, far more complex than CP/M. It would be possible to get a copy of CP/M and study the code. You could make a computer start and stop. You could make it do a few simple things. You could not begin to create an operating system to compete with one of the big three.

What computer system was used before Microsoft was invented?

Assuming that we are only talking about the personal computer (PC) market, before Microsoft's Windows operating systems, Microsoft's Disk operating system, or DOS, was used. Before that, CP/M was a popular computer operating system.

When was M-Systems created?

M-Systems was created in 1989.

What has the author Robert M Albrecht written?

Robert M. Albrecht has written: 'Basic Self-Teaching' 'Stepping up to OS/2 2.0' -- subject(s): MS OS/2 (Computer file), Operating systems (Computers)

What does term naming mean in computers?

DOS stands for Disk Operating System. It refers to several related operating systems in the late 1900s. Examples include M-DOS, PC-DOS, and MS-DOS. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dos.

Who bought H and M Food Systems?

IBP bought H and M Food Systems

The letter C is typically used for the what what drive of a computer?

In Microsoft operating systems, the letter C is typically used to indicate the first hard-disk based partition, and typically represents the boot drive. Letters A and B were, historically, allocated to floppy disk drives, while letters C and above are allocated to all other drives and their partitions. Note this is convention, not a requirement. It is possible (but unusual) to change the drive letters in a Windows operating system such that Z, for example, represents the same boot drive. Also note that the habit of allocating letters to different drives is a characteristic of some operating systems (such as CP/M, MS-DOS, and subsequently the Windows family of operating systems). Other operating systems, including the group of Unix (Linux) operating systems, have no notion of a drive letter, but integrate different "drives" into one folder hierarchy. Modern versions of Windows support a similar approach, but this method is not widely used.

Who developed the first operating system?

None, early computers had NO operating system. Jobs were manually loaded and run either by the programmer or a computer operator, one at a time.By the middle 1950s some companies began to realize the economic inefficiency of this, with computer time costing around $1000 per hour, of having the machine sit idle while the operator slowly set up the next job. This prompted these companies to write the first Batch Monitors. While not yet true operating systems, they allowed a computer operator to prepare a batch of jobs (e.g. dozens to hundreds) and set them all up on the computer once, then the Batch Monitor program would automatically load and run each job one at a time in the sequence they appeared in the batch. Meanwhile the operator could be separating listings from the previous batch, preparing the next batch, etc. This produced much more efficient use of both the computer's and the operator's time. Often these companies donated these Batch Monitors (and other utilities) to the Users Group library supported by the manufacturer of the computer they had. Other companies could get this software and improve on it (early Freeware).One of the first manufacturer supported Batch Monitors (actually very nearly an operating system but still not quite) evolved this way from a Batch Monitor written by a customer and donated to the Users Group: IBM's IBSYS for the IBM 709, 7090, and 7094. Based on FMS (written by IBM, could only run FORTRAN jobs) and SOS (written by General Motors), IBM released it to customers in 1960 (2 years after the IBM 7090).What we now call operating systems only began to appear in the middle to late 1960s, on 3rd generation computers being used for dial-up multiuser tymesharing. These systems could simultaneously run both Batch and many Interactive jobs.Early microcomputers of the 1970s also lacked operating systems. The first microcomputer operating system was Gary Kildall's CP/M (based on a DEC PDP-8 operating system) for the Intel 8080. Originally written to help him develop the PL/M compiler for Intel, when he offered them CP/M too, they turned him down saying "we are a chip maker, not a computer company, we don't need it". Eventually they realized they did need it, so they developed ISIS.MSDOS was based on a CP/M clone called QDOS: Quick and Dirty Operating System.
