  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.
