The name

One source, http://www.ibmmuseum.com/ohlandl/AIX_1-3/AIX_Origions.html, probably Alan R. Weiss claims that LOCUS stood for LOcally Cooperative Unix Systems. I can't find any confirmation for that HughesJohn (talk) 10:09, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Eric Levenez has "Locally Cooperating Unix Systems" on his timeline, http://www.levenez.com/unix/ HughesJohn (talk) 15:41, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I worked on it, and remember it as "LOcal Cooperating Unix Systems". I've added a reference to the book below (I wrote Chapter 4), but I don't have my copy at hand to check it.

Implementations

IBM's clustering AIX/370 and AIX PS/2 were implementations of the LOCUS operating system. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1010:A120:DB38:7F6C:7456:F6D6:112D (talk) 19:16, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
