What is Multics?
Multics (Multiplexed Information and Computing Service) was a
timesharing
operating system
that begun in 1965 and is still in use today. The system was started as a joint project by
MIT Project MAC,
Bell Telephone
Laboratories, and GE. Prof. F. J. Corbato of MIT led the project.
Bell Labs withdrew from the development effort in 1969, and later GE sold its
computer business to
Honeywell, which continued Multics development and offered Multics as a commercial product.
