	TOPS-20 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The hacker community, mindful of its origins, quickly dubbed it TWENEX (a contraction of "twenty TENEX"), even though by this point very little of the original TENEX code remained (analogously to the differences between ATandT V6 Unix and BSD).
		DEC people cringed when they heard "TWENEX", but the term caught on nevertheless (the written abbreviation "20x" was also used).
		DEC attempted to convince TOPS-20 users to convert to VMS, but instead, by the late 1980s, most of the TOPS-20 hackers had migrated to Unix.

		C-x C-f (find-file), which behaves nearly the same as in Twenex Emacs, is in GNU Emacs the canonical way for all users to visit files.
		Twenex Emacs was designed at a time when most display terminals did not have the ability to scroll part of the screen, and using existing empty lines made redisplay faster.

		BBN developed their own system, called TENEX (TEN EXecutive), and in creating TOPS-20 for the DEC-20 DEC copied TENEX and adapted it for the 20.
		Usage: DEC people cringe when they hear TOPS-20 referred to as "Twenex", but the term seems to be catching on nevertheless.
		Release 3 of TOPS-20 is sufficiently different from release 1 that some (not all) hackers have stopped calling it TWENEX, though the written abbreviation "20x" is still used.
