Summary
The CTOS/VM Concepts Manual, together with the CTOS/VM Reference Manual, describes the CTOS/VM operating system. The CTOS/VM Concepts Manual introduces the CTOS/VM operating system to the programmer by presenting concepts in a basic-to-advanced order. Included among the concepts in this manual are management of processes, messages, memory, exchanges, video, keyboard, files, disks, printers, communications, tape, and timers. CTOS/VM operations pertaining to each concept are described briefly at the end of each chapter. The manual also explains how to use the CTOS/VM operations and provides information on the administrative aspects of the operating system.
