A game included with the OS proved to be very popular, programmed using the font generator to do simple graphics: "[[Rats Of The Maze]]".
[[Progress Software Corporation]] made a commercial database application for CTOS that was in [[4GL]]. The US Coast Guard used these databases for logistics administration for their vessels.
There was a transparent peer-to-peer network running over serial [[EIA-422|RS-422]] cables, and later over twisted pair with RS-422 adapters. Each workgroup, called a "cluster," was connected via a daisy-chain topology to a server, called a "master." The workstations, normally diskless, were booted over the cluster network from the master, and could optionally be locally booted from attached hard drives.
