  From  Jargon  File  (4.2.3,  23  NOV  2000)  [jargon]: 
 
  CTSS  /C-T-S-S/  n.  Compatible  Time-Sharing  System.  An  early 
  (1963)  experiment  in  the  design  of  interactive  time-sharing  operating 
  systems,  ancestral  to  {{Multics}},  {{Unix}},  and  {{ITS}}.  The  name 
  {{ITS}}  (Incompatible  Time-sharing  System)  was  a  hack  on  CTSS,  meant  both 
  as  a  joke  and  to  express  some  basic  differences  in  philosophy  about  the 
  way  I/O  services  should  be  presented  to  user  programs.
