6 definitions found From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: Vigesimo-quarto \Vi*ges"i*mo-quar"to\, n.; pl {-tos}. A book composed of sheets each of which is folded into twenty-four leaves; hence indicating more or less definitely a size of book so made -- usually written 24mo, or 24[deg]. From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: Anito \A*ni"to\, n.; pl {-tos}. [Sp.] In Guam and the Philippines, an idol, fetich, or spirit. From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (13 Mar 01) [foldoc]: TOS/toss/ 1. {IBM}'s {Tape Operating System}. 2. The {operating system} of the {Atari} ST range of computers. This range included the 512ST, 1040ST and the F, FM and E variations (e.g.1040STE). Later 32-bit machines (TT, Falcon030 and MegaSTE) were developed using a new version of TOS, called {MultiTOS} which was based on {MinT}. TOS went through several revisions starting initially as a derivative of {CP/M}, but developing into a remarkably complete and flexible operating system. Features include: a {flat memory model}, {MS-DOS}-compatible disk format and support for {MIDI} and {SCSI} (in later versions). TOS was designed to run Atari's version of the {GEM} {GUI}. There is some argument as to what TOS stands for the main candidates being "Tramiel Operating System" (named after Atari's head at the time) or simply "The Operating System". 3. {Terms Of Service}. 4. Star Trek The Original Series as opposed to ST-TNG or ST-DS9.
