1 definition found From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]: 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. [E-mail from Vance Socci 1994-05-20]. (1995-11-09)
