Communication with the user is terminal-like. Its user interface is Unix-like, even from the program interface point of view; communication with the kernel is this way (e.g., for file opening, the program sends the name of file and gets back a handle). Each device has a name, which is entered between a pair of colons (:F0: and :F1: are floppies, :LP: is printer, etc.). Each diskette has one directory and no subdirectories. ISIS-II has been distributed as part of the Intel Microprocessor Development System and includes standard operating system commands (copy, delete, dir, rename, format) and debugging software (assembler, linker and debugger for external debugging in developed device).
