<
operating system>
Tymshare's
operating system which ran
for many years on Tymshare's
PDP-10s. It was a descendent
of
TOPS-10 but had many of the important features of
TOPS-20 such as real
paging and controllable/spawnable
processes.
TYMCOM-
X, one of the best kept secrets in the
PDP-10 folklore, was written by Bill Weiher, Vance Socci
<
vsocci@vcctech.com>, Allen Ginzburg, Karen Kolling, Art
Atkinson, Gary Morgenthaler (founder of the company that
produced
IDRIS), Todd Corenson and Murray Bowles. Some
copies still run today. Most
TYMNET development was done
under
TYMCOM-
X and Tymshare sold a
TYMCOM-
X system to
TRW to
use in their credit reporting network, which was based on a
purchased copy of TYMNET circa 1979.
