ICL VME

VME (Virtual Machine Environment) is a mainframe operating system developed by the UK company International Computers Limited (ICL, now part of the Fujitsu group). Originally developed in the 1970s (as VME/B, later VME 2900) to drive ICL's then new 2900 Series mainframes, the operating system is now known as OpenVME incorporating a Unix subsystem, and runs on ICL Series 39 and Trimetra mainframe computers, as well as industry-standard x64 servers.

Origins

The development program for the New Range system started on the merger of International Computers and Tabulators (ICT) and English Electric Computers in 1968. One of the fundamental decisions was that it would feature a new operating system. A number of different feasibility and design studies were carried out within ICL, the three most notable being:

  • VME/B (originally System B), targeted at large processors such as the 2970/2980 and developed in Kidsgrove, Staffordshire and West Gorton, Manchester
  • VME/K (originally System T), targeted at the mid-range systems such as the 2960 and developed at Bracknell after the original design for these small processors, System D, was dropped. VME/K was developed and introduced to the market but was eventually replaced by VME/B

    CONFIG.SYS

    CONFIG.SYS is the primary configuration file for the DOS and OS/2 operating systems. It is a special ASCII text file that contains user-accessible setup or configuration directives evaluated by the operating system during boot. CONFIG.SYS was introduced with DOS 2.0.

    Usage

    The directives in this file configure DOS for use with devices and applications in the system. The CONFIG.SYS directives also set up the memory managers in the system. After processing the CONFIG.SYS file, DOS proceeds to load and execute the command shell specified in the SHELL line of CONFIG.SYS, or COMMAND.COM if there is no such line. The command shell in turn is responsible for processing the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

    CONFIG.SYS is composed mostly of name=value directives which look like variable assignments. In fact, these will either define some tunable parameters often resulting in reservation of memory, or load files, mostly device drivers and TSRs, into memory.

    In DOS, CONFIG.SYS is located in the root directory of the drive from which the system was booted.

    Once In A While (ft. Joe Budden)

    by: Fame

    I can see it
    It's funny man
    Cause it's like it's not going nowhere
    And you gon' see it wherever there's struggle
    [Once in a while I do look at you]
    I see my pain in your eyes man
    [To see that twinkle in your eyes]
    So I know you're feelin' me
    It's that twinkle man
    That sign of struggle
    I've seen it
    In me
    Cause everyday I can't help but see it
    People ain't satisfied
    And you're hatin' your 9 to 5
    and Everybody wanna live another life
    But ain't no length you go or mountain you climb
    Not to better your days
    All That would do is leave room for people to say
    "I guess you're livin' better now
    Share a little bit of that cheddar now"
    Cause I remember days back when
    A brother was hustlin' and robbin' too
    I done tossed the baretta now
    On a whole nother level now
    Still I can't enjoy my fame
    Unless my people doin' the same
    And gettin' money too
    [Once in awhile I couldn't look at you]
    Oh once in awhile
    [and see the twinkle in your eyes]
    And I can see that you don't ever wanna struggle no more
    [Once in awhile I couldn't look at you]
    Once in awhile
    [and see the twinkle in your eyes]
    And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more
    Cause every time you ask me, I'm grindin'
    It shouldn't have to be that way
    You shouldn't have to pay my way
    I shouldn't have to want for a brighter day
    Got a little little problem on the way
    Bounty hunters checkin' state to state
    Child support lady on your case
    Not to mention tickets you ain't never paid
    Oh what must I do
    that's what you'll be askin'
    God please hold it down for me
    Don't let Satan get the hold of me
    I'm tryin' to tell you it can happen to me too
    But it happened a lot worse to my brother
    Muhammad thank God he recovered
    [Once in awhile I choose look at you]
    Once in awhile
    [and see the twinkle in your eyes]
    And I can see that you never wanna struggle no more
    [Once in awhile I choose look at you]
    Look in your eyes
    [and see the twinkle in your eyes]
    And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more
    [Once in awhile I choose look at you]
    'Cause I see your pain now
    'Cause I see your pain now
    I can feel you strain now
    And I can see you cryin'
    And inside you're dyin'
    We're no longer the same now
    But you got to make change now
    [Once in awhile I do look at you]
    Once in awhile
    [and see the twinkle in your eyes]
    And I can see that you don't ever struggle no more
    [Once in awhile I do look at you]
    Once in awhile
    [and see the twinkle in your eyes]
    And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more
    Don't wanna cry no more
    And I can see
    That you don't ever want to struggle no more
