UNIX ran on the VS — Interactive Systems first ported IN / ix ( their IBM360 version of SYS5 UNIX ) to run in a VSOS Virtual machine circa 1985, and then Wang engineers completed the port so that it ran " native " on the VS hardware soon thereafter — but performance was always sub-par as UNIX was never a good fit for the inherently batch-mode nature of the VS hardware, and the line-at-a-time processing approach taken by the VS workstations ; indeed, the workstation code had to be largely rewritten to bundle up each keystroke into a frame to be sent back to the host when running UNIX so that " tty " style processing could be implemented.
