An {operating system }, built in {BCPL } on
top of {IBM } {MVT } and later {MVS } by {Cambridge University }
Computing Service from 1973 to 1995 , which ran on the
university central {mainframe }. All parts of the system were
named after birds , including Eagle (the {job scheduler }, also
the nearest pub ), Pigeon (the mailer ), {GCAL } (the text
processor ) and Wren (the command language ), leading to Wren
Libraries (a local pun ).
Phoenix was much used by {chemists } in daytime and by the rest
of the university in the evenings , and was only abandoned in
favour of {Unix } in 1995 ; it is one reason Cambridge
made little contribution to Unix until then .
