tymcom-x
     
         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
        , 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.
