From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (05 January 2017) [foldoc]:
Phoenix
An operating system, built in BCPL on
top of IBM MVT and later MVS by Cambridge University
Computing Service from 1973 to 1995, which ran on the
university central mainframe. All parts of the system were
named after birds, including Eagle (the job scheduler, also
the nearest pub), Pigeon (the mailer), GCAL (the text
processor) and Wren (the command language), leading to Wren
Libraries (a local pun).
Phoenix was much used by chemists in daytime and by the rest
of the university in the evenings, and was only abandoned in
favour of Unix in 1995; it is one reason Cambridge
made little contribution to Unix until then.
