Unisys Dorado class mainframes can run either OS/2200 (Sperry Univac linage) or 
MCP (Burroughs A series linage).  This is a configurable setting at the 
hardware partition level.

"Most of the applications on the mainframe were written in Pacbase, an old IBM 
programming language that became increasingly difficult to support as veteran 
programmers retired."

Very disturbing. They moved to .NET environment on windoze platforms. Is that 
movement not more expensive due to licensing?

"The Public Safety Unisys mainframe had proven itself to be dependable, highly 
available, secure, and relatively efficient from a performance perspective."

yet, they moved OFF it... because of costs and age of workforce...  

It is indeed more disturbing...

Just Curious Question: what operating system does that Unisys ClearPath Dorado 
mainframe run?
