Actually, Ray, "crt" in this case does stand for "c run time" instead of
"cathode ray tube" as you suggested.  Look at the Subject: line of
the article.  It says *UNIX* NAME ABBREVIATIONS.  You're not the
first person to "correct" Ron on his definition of the abbreviation.

Look in /lib of must UNIX sytems (Berzerkeley and System V) and you'll
notice a file called "crt0.o"......
