Is ACP/TPF still around. I once got all of the informational material
together and suggested to my boss that we consider it for some of our
on-line applications. It resulted in a series of unprintable comments
questioning my ancestry, the marital status of my parents, the kennel my
mother was born in, and suggested that perhaps I came from the shallow
end of the genetic pool. As I retreated from his office I said that I
thought that they were interested in reliability and performance for the
on-line systems.
He was a gutless wonder who would never have made a suggestion to take a
radical approach, he was part of the group that decided not to select
IMS because our shop would never go to a virtual memory operating system
(which it did, of course).
I still think that it would have been neat to use TPF for a regular
commercial application. I understand that it became popular with some
banks as well as the airlines and the is why it was renamed Transaction
Processing Facility/Airline Control Program.
I heard all kinds of stories about how fast it was to IPL and bring up
the applications compared to bringing up MVT/SVS/MVS and then once the
OS was up one could begin starting the applications.
Was their any truth to this or is this grandfather just suffering from
creative recall.
Paul.
