Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Other uses Шаблон:Expand Russian Шаблон:No footnotes Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox OS DEMOS (Dialogovaya Edinaya Mobilnaya Operatsionnaya Sistema: Шаблон:Lang-ru) is a Unix-like operating system developed in the Soviet Union. It is derived from Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) Unix.
Development
DEMOS's development was initiated in the Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy in Moscow in 1982, and development continued in cooperation from other institutes, and commercialized by DEMOS Co-operative which employed most key contributors to DEMOS and to its earlier alternative, MNOS (a clone of Version 6 Unix). MNOS and DEMOS version 1.x were gradually merged from 1986 until 1990, leaving the joint OS, DEMOS version 2.x, with support for different Cyrillic script character encoding (charsets) (KOI-8 and U-code, used in DEMOS 1 and MNOS, respectively).
Initially it was developed for SM-4 (a PDP-11/40 clone) and SM-1600. Later it was ported to Elektronika-1082, BESM, ES EVM, clones of VAX-11 (SM-1700), and several other platforms, including PC/XT, Elektronika-85 (a clone of DEC Professional), and several Motorola 68020-based microcomputers.
The development of DEMOS effectively ceased in 1991, when the second project of the DEMOS team, RELCOM, took priority.
Naming
The originally suggested name was a pun on Unix: УНАС (UNAS), which is a volapukish word play on Unix; "у них" ("u nih") in Russian means "theirs" and "у нас" ("u nas") means "ours".
The management allegedly dismissed this idea in favor of a traditional alphabet soup.Шаблон:Citation needed
