DEMOS (Dialogovaya Edinaya Mobilnaya Operatsionnaya Sistema: Russian: Диалоговая Единая Мобильная Операционная Система, ДЕМОС, lit. 'Interactive Unified Portable Operating System') is a Unix-like operating system developed in the Soviet Union. It is derived from Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) Unix.

It's development was initiated in the Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy in Moscow in 1982, and development continued in cooperation from other institutes, and commercialized by DEMOS Co-operative which employed most key contributors to DEMOS and to its earlier alternative, MNOS (a clone of Version 6 Unix). MNOS and DEMOS version 1.x were gradually merged from 1986 until 1990, leaving the joint OS, DEMOS version 2.x, with support for different Cyrillic script character encoding (charsets) (KOI-8 and U-code, used in DEMOS 1 and MNOS, respectively).

Initially it was developed for SM-4 (a PDP-11/40 clone) and SM-1600. Later it was ported to Elektronika-1082, BESM, ES EVM, clones of VAX-11 (SM-1700), and several other platforms, including PC/XT, Elektronika-85 (a clone of DEC Professional), and several Motorola 68020-based microcomputers.

The development of DEMOS effectively ceased in 1991, when the second project of the DEMOS team, RELCOM, took priority.

An archive of the DEMOS source code can found here: https://github.com/bpr97050/DEMOS There's some interesting comments and mailing list archives in that repository as well. :)

    I hope the show is wonderful!! What kind of show is it? And im glad you like the liner, finding something that works for you is always so nice ^^

    eyeliner

    Ooh what was the UD liquid liner (Ive been looking for a new liquid liner)? I love tightlining and doing my waterline but the gel always gets smudgy and the liquid either runs or flakes... I also just need a new eyeliner. The KVD tattoo i had still has liner in it but the applicator dries before Ive finished half an eye, and my loreal liquid liner has a fucked up applicator brush (i can use it... But its hard. Plus it isnt waterproof so no tightlining vivian-shrug)

    The kvd was really frustrating cause it used to have a brush applicator that was wonderful, but the new one i bought (well, bought a year ago...) has a felt tip and its so hard to use cause the very tip of it dries out so quickly! Its so frustrating cause I like the liner liquid, but cant get to it lea-pout

      Kind of doom folk, singer songwriter show! Similar vibes Chelsea Wolfe if you are familiar with her tunes! It’s the UD Perversion waterproof liner! It’s pretty good. It does sting a bit when I put on my waterline, but it stays on well and causes no issue following that. And I think it would work for tightlining. Also a transmasc comrade of mine swears by too faced’s waterproof liquid. I love their mascara too.

      Also, for gel, I really like the Mac Colour Excess, and this lasts throughout the day on my lower waterline.

      I rarely do tightlining, I should experiment with that.
