similar was LLMPS from lincoln labs ... had a small (stand-alone)
multi-task monitor that could concurrently do a number of different
things ... was in the SHARE contribution library ... along with
documentation (originally done for 360/40)

folklore is that Univ of Michigan started out scaffolded MTS off of
LLMPS (i.e. michigan terminal system, virtual memory implementation
originally done for 360/67).

8. Did anything of LLMPS remain as part of UMMPS?
