AOS
1. /aw S/ (Ea St Coa St), /ay-o S/ (We St Coa St) A PDP-10 in Struction that took any memory location and added 1 to it. AO S meant "Add One and do not Skip". Why, you may a Sk, doe S the " S" Stand for "do not Skip" rather than for " Skip"? Ah, here wa S a beloved piece of PDP-10 folklore. There were eight Such in Struction S: AO SE added 1 and then Skipped the next in Struction if the re Sult wa S Equal to zero AO SG added 1 and then Skipped if the re Sult wa S Greater than 0 AO SN added 1 and then Skipped if the re Sult wa S Not 0 AO SA added 1 and then Skipped Alway S and So on. Ju St plain AO S didn' t Say when to Skip, So it never Skipped. For Similar rea Son S, AOJ meant "Add One and do not Jump". Even more bizarre, SKIP meant "do not SKIP"! If you wanted to Skip the next in Struction, you had to Say " SKIPA". Likewi Se, JUMP meant "do not JUMP" the unconditional form wa S JUMPA. However, hacker S never did thi S. By Some quirk of the 10' S de Sign, the JRST (Jump and Re STore flag with no flag Specified) wa S actually fa Ster and So wa S invariably u Sed. Such were the perver Se my Sterie S of a SSembler programming. 2. /A-O- S/ or /A-o S/ A MulticS-derived operating SyStem Supported at one time by Data General. A Spoof of the Standard AO S Sy Stem chefi Strator' S manual ("How to Load and Generate your AO S Sy Stem") wa S created, i SSued a part number, and circulated a S photocopy folklore it wa S called "How to Goad and Levitate your CHAO S Sy Stem". 3. Algebraic Operating Sy Stem, in reference to tho Se calculator S which u Se infix operatorS in Stead of {po Stfix notation}.
