WOW, had no idea CICS was still a valid product.  Had no idea it is still
alive and chugging away.  Googled CICS and landed on the IBM CICS page.  Had
a really nice chat with a really nice agent.  Nice stroll down memory lane.

Control System.

 

IBM had CICS

Burroughs had GEMCOS

Univac had TIP

 

I don't remember what CDC had, although I used it at one point. Never used
the Honeywell real-time system.
