Hello,

Does anyone rember this game program? I was in the US ARMY (86-89)
and I typed this command at the prompt.

For the life of me I cannot recall the OS nor the machine. Funny how
I remember the Sperry UTS-40 & the UNIVAC 1050-II from my time in
the US Air Force in (82-86).

Thanks!

rats was a game on the Convergent Technologies CTOS machines.  Which
Burroughs sold as BTOS (one of which was used as the maintenance
processor for the Unisys V-500).

CT was purchased by Burroughs, which purchased Sperry and became
Unisys.
