I had not heard of TPS of DPS ( I dare say they were tape and disk versiond of the card based BPS.)
As I recall BPS stood for Basic Programming Support, ( not System) As an operator, I did use BPS ( comlete with 3 card loader!). Although when I started, our installation was already converting from the more advanced BOS to the even MORE advanced DOS. ( error messages in english even !!!) we only used BPS for some old (!) programs.
