SINTRAN III/VS

SINTRAN III/VS is a family of general purpose, multi-mode, disk-based operating systems.

Under SINTRAN III/VS, the virtual memory, multi programming and resource sharing capabilities of the ND-500, ND-100 and NORD-10/S computers are fully utilized.

SINTRAN III/VS allows the execution of many different user and system programs concurrently in a multi-lingual environment.

Dependant upon available resources, up to 64 timesharing terminals may be supported simultaneously, along with real-time processes, local and remote batch tasks.

Up to 255 different priority levels may be assigned to the different processes, ensuring that critical programs receive the necessary services from the operating system.

SINTRAN III/VS is delivered in binary form on floppy disk (or magnetic tape) ready for use, according to the actual hardware configuration and the customer's special software requirements. The user does not have to do any system generation.
