This publication describes the features, capabilities, and documentation of the UNICOS 5.0 release.
In addition to new features included in the UNICOS 5.0 release, enhancements have been made to several existing features, including the tape sub'tem, security, and accounting features. This UNICOS release requires TCP/IP, which is licensed separately from UNICOS. With this UNICOS release, emphasis has also been placed on providing "COSfunctional equivalence." This does not mean that UNICOS will "look like COS," nor that it will "do things the way COS does." Implementations such as these would almost certainly compromise the benefits inherent to UNICOS. Rather, the UNICOS 5.0 release provides a means for sophisticated users of COSto perform their work under UNICOSwith at least the same degree of flexibility and control that they have enjoyed with COS. It is Cray Research's belief that the UNICOS 5.0 release offers such users not only "COS functional equivalence," but also a wealth of new features and facilities that could not be provided with COS. The UNICOS operating 'tem is derived from the AT&T UNIXSjrstem V operating 'tem. UNICOS is also based in part on the Fourth Berkeley Software Distribution (4.3BSD) under license from The Regents of the University of California. UNICOS provides most of the standard UNIX system calls and commands, as well as additional capabilities that enhance performance on Cray computer 'tems.
