By way of comparison, on early segmented systems such as Burroughs MCP on the Burroughs B5000 (1961) and Multics (1964), paging systems such as IBM TSS/360 (1967) or base and bounds systems such as GECOS on the GE 625 and EXEC on the UNIVAC 1107, code was inherently position-independent, since addresses in a program were relative to the current segment rather than absolute.
