          {transaction processing}, solely on the {Honeywell} {Bull}

          6 {DPS6} {minicomputers} running under the {GCOS6} {operating
          system}.  In the UK it was mainly used by local authorities
          and the Ministry of Defense.  Being proprietary technology,
          its popularity waned with the introduction of {open systems}
