TYMCOM-X
{Tymshare}'s {operating system} which ran
for many years on Tymshare's {PDP-10}s. 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
, 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.
