+The generality and portability of the UNIX system are achieved at some cost in optimum use of the underlying hardware. We had decided to start with the UNIX system as a base. In view of our requirements, however, we were faced with the question of
 how best to provide the required enhancements. Two strategies could be followed. One was to rewrite the entire kernel. Although theoretically possible, because of the amount of UNIX knowledge available in IBM at the time, it was unlikely that such an approach would achieve upward compatibility with the standard UNIX system. The other was to provide a set of software services for the kernel and modify the kernel
 and other functions to exploit the facilities provided by that layer.
