- Here at Illinois we also had BOSS, the Bastard Offspring Son of Stopgap,
- which was later to become ICE, the Illinois Central Editor, for our CDC
- Cyber. CDC later took ICE and it became what is now FSE, the full screen
- editor, which is the system editor under NOS 2.  At least that's how I
- heard it.

	At Iowa State University, SOS lasted long past DEC
offical support for it on our VAXen.  I seem to remember that
support for SOS was discontinued in about '83, but at last
check, it was still on the VAXen, and still used by a number of
people...  Why I was even quite proficent with it at one point.

	The reason for SOS's long life at ISU?  All sorts of
ADM-3a's and TVI910's.  EDT had no idea how to deal with them,
certainly not in page mode, and line mode EDT wasn't something I
ever enjoyed.
