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.
