TOPS-10
{DEC}'s proprietary OS for the fabled {PDP-10} machines, long a favorite of hackers but now long extinct. A fountain of hacker folklore; see Appendix A. See also {ITS}, {TOPS-20}, {TWENEX}, {VMS}, {operating system}. TOPS-10 was sometimes called BOTS-10 (from `bottoms-ten') as a comment on the inappropriateness of describing it as the top of anything.
