    Ah...TSO. I can't remember if it was TSO or TSS that was the inspiration for the old quip about kicking a dead whale down the beach.

    Since I have never heard that old quip, I am guessing it must have about TSS. ;)

    Ah, apparently it _was_ about TSO. Paul McLellan wrote about it
    over on the cadence blog:

    Interesting. I never found it to be nearly that tedious.

    At some point, someone had written a fake shell for Unix that
    mimmicked TSS or TSO, as a joke. It was unpleasant.
