It's a funny thing; I've been a contractor at various corps since 1996 and used 
all three products, and I had the impression that of the three, RACF had the 
plurality of the market and TSS had the smallest share.  Yet in the last 
decade, of six mainframe clients, four of them have been TSS.  I don't know 
whether TSS is gaining in market share, or I was always wrong about the 
distribution, or what.

To answer your question more precisely, the TSS shops I've served:  A 
commercial data center, a bank in Michigan, a well-know motorcycle 
manufacturer, a provider of various services to airlines and travel agencies, a 
state Farm Bureau (insurance, that is), an international bank - but that last 
was migrating to RACF.

Any idea how many TSS shops there are, and how large they are?

Just a curiosity thing, because I know TSS exists, I just hadn't run in to one 
(knowingly) while supporting customers.
