New Study that finds "amazing" contrary result is badly designed, film at 11
But never mind that.

That's some old old shit they're dealing with. I'd never heard of Kronos.

Kronos is an operating system with time-sharing capabilities, written by Control Data Corporation in the 1970s. Kronos ran on the 60-bit CDC 6000 series mainframe computers and their successors. CDC replaced Kronos with the NOS operating system in the late 1970s, which were succeeded by the NOS/VE operating system in the mid-1980s.[1]

The MACE operating system and APEX were forerunners to KRONOS. It was written by Control Data systems programmer Greg Mansfield, Dave Cahlander, Bob Tate and 3 others.

That's the whole Wikipedia article on Kronos.

Pertec have a bit more information. Seems that they vanished in the late 80s/early 90s.

Actually setting up and recovering this data would have been quite an interesting exercise.

Unusual to say "on the nth day of 198x" rather than "June the 27th 198x".

ETA: Of course there's an emulator.

New nth day of 198x = "Julian" date format. (As opposed to proper Julian, w/o the quote marks.)

         "data from unpublished studies" - (drook) - (3)
             The data reconstruction discussion is interesting. Note the "rapid responses" - (Another Scott) - (2)

It'll be gradual, but faster than you expect. One day it won't be there, and the next day you'll be surprised at just how fast it still isn't.
