Apparently, a number of people are interpreting the sentence (from the Loading
Programs for Execution section of the first programming assignment page)
After boot-up initialization, the operating system should load and begin
executing the first program on the batch disk;
as
After boot-up initialization, the operating system should load and execute
every program on the batch disk;
These two sentences are different, and only the first sentence (from the
assignment) is correct; the second sentence is incorrect, as is any operating
system that behaves in a way described by the second sentence.
